DOI: 10.1111/echo.14692
Abstract: Microbubbles (MBs) or cavitation is high‐velocity, echo‐bright findings present during the closing or opening of a mechanical valve (MVP). Cavitation bubble growth or gas emboli are less frequently described. We evaluated the hemodynamic parameters involved… read more here.

DOI: 10.1542/peds.147.3_meetingabstract.334-a
Abstract: Introduction: Anticoagulation in children with mechanical prosthetic valves lacks evidence-based recommendations and as a result, children receive adult-based oral vitamin K antagonists (VKA) regimens. Low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) has been proposed as an alternative… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/medicina58081119
Abstract: Background and Objectives: Immediate postoperative anticoagulation regimens in patients with mechanical prosthetic valves undergoing non-cardiac surgery are clear only for unfractionated heparin (UH), whereas the few low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) trials available to date concern the… read more here.

DOI: 10.4103/aca.aca_254_20
Abstract: Aortic stenosis is commonly encountered in the developing world and surgical replacement of native aortic valve (AV) with mechanical prosthetic valve is still performed widely in these patients. Currently, bileaflet mechanical valves are most frequently… read more here.
