Proteolytic Degradation Is a Major Contributor to Bioprosthetic Heart Valve Failure
Background Whereas the risk factors for structural valve degeneration (SVD) of glutaraldehyde‐treated bioprosthetic heart valves (BHVs) are well studied, those responsible for the failure of BHVs fixed with alternative next‐generation chemicals remain largely unknown. This study aimed to investigate...
