Conclusion
Biological prosthesis valve dysfunction is a clinically significant
process. It has become a major issue considering the growing rate of
bioprosthesis implantation and improved long-term patient survival.
Research on the field has improved in the past few years but there is
still not an ideal bioprosthesis. Understanding bioprosthetic aortic
valve degeneration from a basic science perspective is a key point to
improve technologic advances and specifications that lead to new
generation of bioprosthesis.
