Twenty-year experience with the St. Jude Medical Biocor bioprosthesis in the aortic position

Abstract

Bioprostheses are prone to continuous degeneration, which over time may lead to structural valve deterioration (SVD). In turn, SVD may require reoperation [1–3]. Improvements in valve design and conservation methods have extended the lifetime of bioprotheses [4, 5]. Thus, data on valve dysfunction and the risk of reoperation over the long term are of particular interest.
