Expression of tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases type 1 and type 2 in the leaflets of explanted bioprosthetic heart valves: a new pathogenetic parallel between structural valve degeneration and calcific aortic stenosis
Objective: to study cellular and lipid infiltration, as well as the expression of tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMP) types 1 and 2 in biological prosthetic heart valves (BPHVs) explanted due to dysfunction.Material and Methods. We examined 17 leaflets from 6 BPHVs, dissected from the aor...
