The Pathology of Bioprosthetic Heart Valves and Allografts

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Current Topics in Pathology ((CT PATHOLOGY,volume 86))

Abstract

Valve surgery continues to be a challenging aspect of current cardiac surgical practice, where each year some 30 000 patients in the United States (Miller et al. 1987) present for what might appear to be an easy procedure: the replacement of a heart valve.
