Homografts
Homograft ValvesHarvested soon after death w/ the endothelium still viablePreparation for implantation
Storage in ABXCryopreservation (more recently)
No anticoagulationLow incidence of endocarditisFailure due to gradual aortic incompetence
![Page 5: Echocardiography of Prosthetic Valves Dr. Tehrani](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56649cbe5503460f94983e7c/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Homografts
PositionMitral
Fitted w/ stent, not proved successful (high failure rate at 5 years)Stentless grafts not an option for MVR

Echocardiography of Stentless Aortic Homografts
Doppler flow characteristics similar to native valve.Only 2-D evidence: Increased Echo intensity, and Thickness of aortic annulus.

Advantage over allografts is wider availabilityDurability is at least as good as allografts

Bioprosthesis
Used extensively in a variety of sites:AorticMitralTricuspid
Advantage:Low thrombogenicity => No anticoagulation
![Page 17: Echocardiography of Prosthetic Valves Dr. Tehrani](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56649cbe5503460f94983e7c/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Bioprosthesis
Disadvantages:Less durable than mechanical prosthesisMitral position worse
Due to greater backpressure gradientDysfunction:
Leaflet thickening, and Ca++ Fracture, tears, or progressive stenosis
In vivo, roughly 10% of normal bioprosthetic valves have some leakage.

The occluding mechanism dictates both: The echocardiographic appearance of the valve, andThe flow pattern through the valve
To assess performance, the type of valve implanted must be known

Special Problems of 2-D Imaging Artificial Valves
Echocardiographs are calibrated to measure distance based on the speed of sound in tissue.
Prosthetic valves have different acoustic properties than tissue. Hence, distortion of:
SizeLocation, andAppearance, of the prosthesis.
![Page 41: Echocardiography of Prosthetic Valves Dr. Tehrani](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56649cbe5503460f94983e7c/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Special problems of artificial valves
Intense reverberation, andShadowingLess gain leads to less:
Reverberation, and Shadowing, as well asBetter visualization of non-biologic components of the valve HOWEVER Decreased definition of cardiac
structures
![Page 42: Echocardiography of Prosthetic Valves Dr. Tehrani](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56649cbe5503460f94983e7c/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Special problems of artificial valves
First image at normal settings, then Reduce the gain to interrogate the leaflets of Bio-prosthetic valves.
Utilize multiple views.

Prosthetic Stenosis (and Regurgitation) is:
A question of degree,
Not a question of whether.

Prosthetic Valve Stenosis
Determinants of gradients across normal prosthetic valves include:
Valve type, i.e., ManufacturerValve sizeFlow through the valve
Wide range of “Normals”

Indicies of Valve Stenosis which are Less Flow Depenent
A. Contour of jet velocityB. Doppler velocity indexC. Effective orifice areaD. Valve resistance

A-Contour of the jet velocity
With prosthetic obstruction there is:
Late peaking of the velocity,More rounded contour,Prolonged ejection.

Special Caveats Re:Overestimation of Gradients
Two scenarios:
I. The velocity upstream from the valve is not negligible in application of the Bernoulli Eqn.
Usually in AV when proximal velocity on the LVOT is > 1.5 m/s
2 2
21 4V V P
![Page 56: Echocardiography of Prosthetic Valves Dr. Tehrani](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56649cbe5503460f94983e7c/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
…Overestimation of Gradients
II. Central acceleration with the St. Jude valve:
Increase of velocities (and gradients) is created at the level of the valve through the smaller central orifice.Most significant with:
High flow states Small valves
![Page 57: Echocardiography of Prosthetic Valves Dr. Tehrani](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56649cbe5503460f94983e7c/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
…Overestimation of Gradients
Central acceleration with the St. Jude valve:
CW Doppler records these high velocities.
Catheter-derived gradients show pressure recovery at 30mm downstream from the valve.
![Page 58: Echocardiography of Prosthetic Valves Dr. Tehrani](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56649cbe5503460f94983e7c/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
Indicies which are LessFlow Dependent, BUT…
A. Contour of jet velocityB. Doppler velocity indexC. Effective orifice areaD. Valve resistance
Clearly, both ofThese ParametersWill be Affected byThe PressureRecovery Phenomenon.

Mismatch
Rahimtoola 1978: “Mismatch is present when the effective
prosthetic valve area, after insertion into the patient, is less than that of a normal human valve.”
By definition: Some such “mismatch” will almost always be
present.

Mitral Prosthesis Stenosis
B-Effective Orifice Area by continuity Eqn.
One underlying assumption is absence of significant AI or MR
Physiologic prosthetic MR 10-30% (Medtronic-Hall, significant central MR, specific design feature less thrombogenic)

Prosthetic Valve Regurgitatoin
Two issues:
Physiologic v.s. Pathologic regurgitationTTE v.s. TEE for assessment of regurgitation

Prosthetic Valve Regurgitation
Physiologic Regurgitation
Early onsetEarly onset and brief durationReflects backflow from closing movement of occluding device
Tilting disc and bileaflet valves have additional late backflowlate backflow leakage
Intended to reduce risk of thrombosis

Aortic Prosthesis Regurgitation
Criteria similar to grading native valve AI:
Jet widthPHT < 350Holodiastolic flow reversalRegurgitant fraction>40%
