Transition from non-surgical heart valve defects repair from bench to bedside is a reality.Some biological material-based designs for transcatheter aortic valve implantation are ready for use.Their drawback,however is their unknown functional as well as structural durability.Moreover,research on new non-biological materials is essential to replace classical animal-derived sources of human heart valve prostheses.
Transition from non-surgical heart valve defects repair from bench to bedside is a reality. Some biological material-based designs for transcatheter aortic valve implantation are ready for use. Their drawback, however is their unknown functional as well as structural durability. Moreover, research on new non-biological materials is essential to replace classical animal-derived sources of human heart valve prostheses.
