Background and aim: The primary cause of long-term failure of bioprosthetic valves is structural valve deterioration due to tissue calcification. A novel anti-calcification technology platform was developed that may irreversibly block calcium binding sites in bioprosthetic valves. Methods: Twenty patients with severe aortic stenosis underwent isolated aortic valve replacement using a bioprosthetic valve treated with the novel anti-calcification technology. Mean patient age and body mass index was 73.7 ± 4.8 years and 30.1 ± 5.8 kg/m2, respectively. Females comprised 65% of the patient population, and 30% of the population was in New York Heart Association class III/IV. Other baseline characteristics included hypertension (90%), hyperlipidae...
