Age, Sex, and Valve Phenotype Differences in Fibro‐Calcific Remodeling of Calcified Aortic Valve

open access: yesJournal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2020
Background In calcific aortic valve disease on tricuspid aortic valves (TAVs), men have higher aortic valve calcification and less fibrosis than women. However, little is known in bicuspid aortic valves (BAV).

Superiority of the Rockwood Clinical Frailty Scale for Assessing Long‐Term Outcome in Patients Undergoing Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation

open access: yesCatheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Frailty is associated with poorer short‐term outcomes after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI), and national guidelines recommend an assessment of frailty as part of the decision‐making process. However, multiple frailty indices are currently used in clinical practice, and it is unclear which has the best discrimination ...

Histopathology reveals concealed aortic valve inflammation

open access: yesJournal of Cardiothoracic Surgery
Background The extent of aortic valve inflammation in patients undergoing aortic valve replacement (AVR) is unsettled. The significance of aortic valve histopathology in patients undergoing AVR is undetermined.

Endogenous reference genes for gene expression studies on bicuspid aortic valve associated aortopathy in humans

open access: yes, 2016
Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) disease is the most common congenital cardiac abnormality and predisposes patients to life-threatening aortic complications including aortic aneurysm.

Patient-specific image-based computer simulation for theprediction of valve morphology and calcium displacement after TAVI with the Medtronic CoreValve and the Edwards SAPIEN valve [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
AIMS: Our aim was to validate patient-specific software integrating baseline anatomy and biomechanical properties of both the aortic root and valve for the prediction of valve morphology and aortic leaflet calcium displacement after TAVI.

Myxomatous degeneration of aortic valve causing severe aortic regurgitation. A rare case report

open access: yesSAGE Open Medical Case Reports
Myxomatous degeneration of a valve is a non-inflammatory degenerative process due to the disruption of the fibrous layer of the valve with mucopolysaccharide accumulation. It is mostly seen in the mitral valve but involvement in only aortic valve is rare.

Hemangioma of the Atherosclerotic Changed Aortic Valve

open access: yesCase Reports in Cardiology, 2019
The incidence of heart valve hemangioma is very low and is mostly observed in the mitral and tricuspid valve. In 2006, two cases of aortic valve hemangioma were reported for the first time, including one with calcifying aortic valve stenosis.

The effect of statins therapy in aortic stenosis: Meta-analysis comparison data of RCTs and observationals

open access: yesData in Brief, 2016
Aortic stenosis has been shown to share the same risk factors as atherosclerosis which suggested a potential benefit from statins therapy. Fourteen studies which provided the effect of statins treatment on aortic stenosis (AS) were meta-analyzed ...

Nanopatterned acellular valve conduits drive the commitment of blood-derived multipotent cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Considerable progress has been made in recent years toward elucidating the correlation among nanoscale topography, mechanical properties, and biological behavior of cardiac valve substitutes.

Nationwide Analysis of PCI After TAVR From the Netherlands Heart Registration

open access: yesCatheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has gained interest as concomitant coronary artery disease (CAD) is now often treated conservatively before TAVR, and TAVR is increasingly used in younger patients with longer life expectancies. Therefore, more contemporary data on PCI after
