Objective: The aortic valve complex is an anatomical and a physiological junctional structure. Its root morphology presents structure extending from the ventriculoarterial to sinotubular junction consisting of three Valsalva sinuses cusps achieve optimal pump function left ventricle. In this research study, geometric model was created allowing input make it applicable in cardiac surgery. Materi...

A large number of prosthetic heart valves (PHV) are being implanted in patients with both congenital and acquired valvular disease. Many of the recipients of such valves are women of childbearing age who desire to have children. The main issues involved with pregnancy in a patient with PHV include the selection of PHV in women during their childbearing age, risks to both the mother and the fetu...

Coagulase negative staphylococci are the principal cause of prosthetic valve endocarditis but are a rare cause of native valve infections. However, the incidence of native valve endocarditis is increasing. Staphylococcus capitis is a coagulase negative staphylococcus with the capacity to cause endocarditis on native heart valves. Two cases of native valve endocarditis caused by S capitis are pr...
