M Torre, DH Hwang, RF Padera, RN Mitchell… - Cardiovascular …, 2016 - Elsevier
Background Aortic valve replacement for calcific aortic valve stenosis is one of the more
common cardiac surgical procedures. However, the underlying pathophysiology of calcific
aortic valve stenosis is poorly understood. We therefore investigated the histologic findings
of aortic valves excised for calcific aortic valve stenosis and correlated these findings with
their associated clinical features. Results and Methods We performed a retrospective
analysis on 6685 native aortic valves excised for calcific stenosis and 312 prosthetic tissue …
