Pulsed Cavitational Ultrasound Softening: A New Noninvasive Therapeutic Approach for Calcified Bioprosthetic Valve Stenosis

The authors propose a novel noninvasive therapeutic approach for degenerative calcified bioprosthetic heart valves based on pulsed cavitational ultrasound (PCU) to improve the valvular function by remotely softening calcified stiff cusps. This study aims to demonstrate both in vivo, using an ovine m...
