The importance of tissue science and valve design in relation to durability and hemodynamics of the DurAVR aortic heart valve by William M. L. Neethling, Guenther Forster, Christopher Meduri, Bart Meuris, Anita W. Asgar, Stephanie Sellers, João L. Cavalcante, Vinayak Bapat, Michael Reardon

“…IntroductionClinical evidence highlighting the efficacy and safety of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) and the 2019 Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for TAVR in low-risk (younger) patients has created a demand for durable and long-lasting bioprosthetic heart valve (BHV) leaflet materials. Over the life of an implanted BHV mechanical stress, immunogenicity, calcification, and hemodynamic dysfunction lead to failure via structural valve deterioration (SVD). …”
