DOI: 10.1016/s0735-1097(18)31348-2
Abstract: Implantation of left ventricular assist device (LVAD) in patients with prosthetic valves is challenging. We compared the outcomes of patients with bioprosthetic (BV) versus mechanical valves (MV) who underwent LVAD implantation. Three search engines were… read more here.

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/medicina55080437
Abstract: Valvular heart disease and atrial fibrillation often coexist. Oral vitamin K antagonists have represented the main anticoagulation management for antithrombotic prevention in this setting for decades. Novel direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) are a new class… read more here.
