Recommendations for evaluation of prosthetic valves with echocardiography and doppler ultrasound: a report From the American Society of Echocardiography's Guidelines and Standards Committee and the Task Force on Prosthetic Valves, developed in conjunction with the American College of Cardiology.

Background. The problem of prosthetic heart valve selection in fertile women with acquired heart defects remains crucial in modern cardiology. Mechanical heart valves require lifelong indirect anticoagulant therapy, which has significant fetal toxicity and is Cited by: 1.

Since the s more than 80 models of prosthetic heart valves have been developed and used. More than 60, valve replacements are performed annually in the United States. Prosthetic heart valves Cited by:

Prosthetic valves require regular clinical follow up at least annually. This should occur in a specialist valve clinic because of the potential difficulty in recognising complications. Introduction Some –, replacement heart valves are implanted worldwide each year (1). The operation improves life expectancy and symptoms, but allCited by:

May 01,  · The first successful heart valve implant was done by Dwight Harken (Boston, USA) in in a patient with aortic stenosis. Progress in design and durability of valve substitutes, coupled with improved surgical expertise and perioperative management, have led to routine valve replacement and repair procedures with low mortality and morbidity since then; ≈10, valve replacement and repair.
