In an era of rapidly expanding use of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI), the management of patients with bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) disease is far less well established than in those ...

What is aortic stenosis in children? Aortic stenosis means that your child has a heart valve that is too narrow or is blocked. The aortic valve is 1 of 4 heart valves that keep blood flowing through ...

Introduction: Aortic valve disease (AVD) is common among older adults. Although body mass index (BMI) has been reported to be a risk factor for aortic valve stenosis (AS), it is unknown whether BMI or ...

Currently, there is a lack of evidence for the long‐term bioprosthetic valve durability of patients with bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) following transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR).

Aortic regurgitation occurs when blood leaks back into the left ventricle due to a leaky aortic valve. This is a type of valve disease in the heart. Aortic regurgitation can lead to some heart ...

The investigator-initiated, international, randomized controlled trial enrolled patients with NYHA class II-IV HFrEF (LV ejection fraction ≥20% and <50%) and moderate AS (aortic valve area >1.0 ...

Our patient was admitted for elective AVR by cardiothoracic surgery. A routine transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) was performed intraoperatively, which incidentally revealed an abscess in the area ...

dhm.mhn.de Objective: It is presumed that patient-prosthesis mismatch (PPM) influences morbidity and mortality after aortic valve replacement (AVR ... 13 EOAI is the EOA per body surface area (BSA), ...

Additionally, patient hemodyanmics improved, with aortic valve area (AVA) increasing by 12% over baseline by six months post-procedure. “This clinical study is taking us one more step forward in ...

In patients greater than age 65, more than 90% of aortic stenosis involves trileaflet valves which have developed heavy calcification. [5] In these instances the calcium deposits are thought to ...

The trial, whose results were published this week in The New England Journal of Medicine, could change the way doctors treat severe aortic stenosis, a narrowing of the valve that controls blood ...
