Abstract Aims Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has become the standard of care for selected patients with severe aortic stenosis. Multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) and transoesophageal 2D/3D (two‐dimensional/three‐dimensional) echocardiography (ECHO) are used for aortic annulus (AA) sizing.

Role of non‐coding variants in cardiovascular disease
Abstract Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) constitute one of the significant causes of death worldwide. Different pathological states are linked to CVDs, which despite interventions and treatments, still have poor prognoses. The genetic component, as a beneficial tool in the risk stratification of CVD development, plays a role in the pathogenesis of this ...

Supravalvular aortic stenosis with sudden cardiac death
Sudden cardiac death (SCD) most commonly results from previously undiagnosed congenital, acquired, or hereditary cardiac diseases. Congenital aortic valvular, subvalvular, and supravalvular disease with left ventricular outflow tract obstruction is an ...

Abstract Background Pulmonary stenosis (PS) usually is evaluated using echocardiography. A multiparametric approach, in addition to the maximum pressure gradient (PG), might be indicated to better characterize PS severity and address its management.

Supravalvular aortic stenosis as an early complication of transposition of the great artery repair is rare with few cases reported. Furthermore, transcatheter intervention is uncommon as surgical re-intervention has been traditionally done.

Forty-one years of surgical experience with congenital supravalvular aortic stenosis [PDF]
Objective: Several techniques for symmetric reconstruction of the aortic root in congenital supravalvular aortic stenosis have been developed, but it remains unclear whether these prove superior to patch enlargement of the noncoronary sinus alone.

Supravalvular Aortic Stenosis [PDF]
Supravalvular aortic stenosis is a systemic elastin (ELN) arteriopathy that disproportionately affects the supravalvular aorta. ELN arteriopathy may be present in a nonsyndromic condition or in syndromic conditions such as Williams–Beuren syndrome.
