Aortic valvuloplasty is being used with increasing frequency due to lack of an ideal valve substitute. Improved understanding of the anatomy and function of the normal and abnormal aortic valves has expanded the indications of the procedure to a multitude of conditions in both adults and children.

Aortic valve replacement remains the gold standard for the treatment of severe aortic valve disease. Techniques for valve repair are emerging as a feasible alternative to valve replacement in selected patients. Advantages include potential reduction in the risks of prosthesis-related complications such as thromboembolism, endocarditis, anticoagulant ...

Aortic coaptation in repair [PDF]
Thanks to the authors for their article, which teaches us many things [1]. Because the reoperation rate is 10% in the long-term results, we searched and came to the conclusion that, in remodelling and subvalvular annuloplasty, the durability of leaflets worsens due to the inability of aortic expansion [2]; for this reason, the durability of the ...

Open Aortic Repair After Prior Thoracic Endovascular Aortic Repair [PDF]
Background. Thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) has been applied to increasingly complex aortic pathology, resulting in an increase in late complications. We characterized patients undergoing open repair after prior TEVAR including indications, operative techniques, and outcomes. Methods.

Juxtarenal aortic aneurysm repair [PDF]
Juxtarenal aortic aneurysms (JAA) account for approximately 15% of abdominal aortic aneurysms. Despite advances in endovascular aneurysm repair, open repair requiring suprarenal aortic cross-clamping is still the treatment of choice for JAA. We performed a systematic review of the literature to determine perioperative mortality and postoperative renal ...

Pararenal Aortic Ulcer Repair [PDF]
In order to investigate techniques and outcomes of pararenal penetrating aortic ulcer (PAU) repair, a retrospective cohort study was performed.Over the 6 year study period, 12 patients treated for a pararenal PAU were included. Outcome measures included technical success, survival, and peri-operative complications, as well as stent patency.Treatment ...

Endovascular repair of aortic rupture [PDF]
To report a single centre experience with endovascular repair of ruptures of the descending thoracic and abdominal aorta.Retrospective non-randomised study in a university hospital.Between February 1997 and October 2002, endovascular repair of the aorta was performed on 125 occasions. In 20 cases, this was done as an emergency (nine ruptured infrarenal

Endovascular repair of the aortic arch
Abstract Objectives The gold standard for the treatment of pathologies of the aortic arch remains the open surgical reconstruction of the affected segments. However, endovas-cular treatment options have emerged that eliminate the need for invasive open surgery.
