“…MHVs are highly durable when compared with other artificial heart valves; they can last up to 25 years in patients without major complications, but they have high risk of thrombosis (96). High durability makes these valves more suitable for patients younger than age 50, as MHVs have a lower risk of reoperation (113).…”

Calcific aortic stenosis is a progressive disease that has become more prevalent in recent decades. Despite advances in research to uncover underlying biomechanisms, and development of new generations of prosthetic valves and replacement techniques, management of calcific aortic stenosis still comes with unresolved complications. In this review, we highlight underlying molecular mechanisms of acquired aortic stenosis calcification in relation to hemodynamics, complications related to the disease, diagnostic methods, and evolving treatment practices for calcific aortic stenosis.

Congenital Heart Defects - Recent Advances

Congenital aortic valve disease is a life-long condition that can require multiple interventions. It is one of the most common causes of congenital heart defect, with bicuspid aortic valve present in at least 1−2% of the general population. Surgical management of congenital aortic valve disease consists of either valve repair or replacement. While aortic valve replacement using the Ross procedure can be considered the gold standard management in the pediatric population, advancements in aortic valve repair techniques have proved its usefulness as an initial management approach as it prevents prosthesis-related complications and patient-prostheses mismatch while the patient grows. Overall, all techniques have their benefits and limitations in terms of growth potential, durability of repair, freedom from reoperation and anticoagulation, infection risk, and mortality. Each patient will require an individualized judiciously selected management plan to minimize the number of interventions over their lifetime. The aim of this review is to discuss the merits and drawbacks of the major techniques currently used in both aortic valve repair and replacement.
