Aortic valve replacement for ochronosis of the aortic valve.
CHEST Journal, 1978A patient with generalized ochronosis developed severe cardiovascular symptoms related to ochronotic deposits on the aortic valve and in the coronary arteries. A transvalvular gradient of 100 mm Hg and obstruction of the left anterior descending coronary artery were found by catheterization.

Pathology of the Aortic Valve: Aortic Valve Stenosis/Aortic Regurgitation
Current Cardiology Reports, 2019This discussion is intended to review the anatomy and pathology of the aortic valve and aortic root region, and to provide a basis for the understanding of and treatment of the important life-threatening diseases that affect the aortic valve.The most exciting recent finding is that less invasive methods are being developed to treat diseases of the ...

A quadricuspid aortic valve was observed in a patient requiring aortic valve replacement because of severe aortic regurgitation, while in another it was accidentally detected by means of transesophageal echocardiography performed during coronary artery bypass grafting. This report discusses the apparent rarity of this malformation and stresses the need

Aortic Valve Repair for Rheumatic Aortic Valve Disease
The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 2005The aim of this study is to assess the long-term results of aortic valve repair in patients with rheumatic aortic valve disease.From April 1991 through December 2003, 61 patients with rheumatic aortic valve disease underwent aortic valve repair. Mean age was 23.7 +/- 9.3 years (range, 6 to 53 years).

Aortic Valve Repair for Congenital Abnormalities of the Aortic Valve
Heart, Lung and Circulation, 2006Due to shortcomings of any valve replacement, repairing and retaining the native valve may be beneficial for congenital aortic valve disease.Retrospective review of data and follow-up of aortic valve repair from a single institution.From 1993 to 2001, 56 patients underwent aortic valve repair [median age 13.4 years (range 1 day to 45 years)].

A 66 year-old male had experienced chest heaviness and dyspnoea. His co-morbidities included hypertension and gout; there was no family history of cardiac disease. Trans-thoracic echocardiography demonstrated mild left ventricular systolic dysfunction as well as a quadricuspid aortic valve with moderate to severe incompetence.

Transcatheter Aortic Valve Therapy Is Not Aortic Valve Replacement
The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 2009I read with interest the increasing number of scientific articles involving transcatheter aortic valve replacement. The meaning of the term “replacement” is to substitute something with something else. Yet, at present, the only way to substitute a stenotic aortic valve is to take away the calcific or fibrotic tissue and put in a new prosthetic valve,

Abstract Aortic valve disease encompasses aortic stenosis, aortic regurgitation, and congenital malformations. Aortic valve stenosis is a common problem among the elderly, and valve replacement is still the only treatment option for severe symptomatic disease.

Journal of Cardiac Surgery, 1998
The authors report a case of aortic valve myxoma discovered in a 34-year-old patient who had suffered a transient ischemic attack. At operation, a heliocoidal gelatinous mass was found attached to the ventricular side of the right coronary cusp of the aortic valve via a pedicle.
