Association between lipoprotein(a) and structural degeneration of bioprosthetic aortic valves: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Structural valve degeneration (SVD) remains a major limitation of bioprosthetic aortic valves (bAVs). In cross-sectional analyses (2 studies), elevated Lp(a) levels were significantly associated with SVD (OR 2.09, 95% CI 1.02-4.28; I² = 0%).
