Calcification of xenotissue as main cause of structural failure of bioprosthetic valves significantly limits their application in clinical practice. The assumptions about universal mechanisms of abnormal soft tissues calcification and impact of recipient's metabolic factors on this process have been known. This article is an overview of studies investigating traditional cardiovascular risk factors which appear to be predictors of bioprosthetic structural failure.
