The Potential Role of Endothelial Dysfunction in Development of Paravalvular Leaks in Patients with Prostehetic Heart Valves

Abstract: Aim: Minimal paravalvular leaks (PVL) through microdefects around the annulus have been demonstrated immediately after valvular replacement surgery and usually disappear after regional tissue healing. It has been recognized that endothelium takes place in physiological processes during wound healing including mitogenesis, fibrosis, and inflammation. In this study, we aimed to investigate the role of endothelial functions in patients with persistent PVLs detected in the early postoperative period.Material and M… Show more
