Is there a role of statins in the prevention of aortic biological prostheses degeneration

It has been recently observed that statins might slow the progression of aortic stenosis or sclerosis. Preliminary reports suggested a similar positive effect in reducing the degeneration of aortic valve bioprostheses even though this hypothesis should be further proven and supported by new data. In...

description It has been recently observed that statins might slow the progression of aortic stenosis or sclerosis.

In this review the present evidences of the possible effects of statins in this field are discussed.
