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

Transcatheter Aortic Valve Therapy Is Not Aortic Valve Replacement [PDF]
The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 2009 I 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,

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).

Abstract This paper describes fifteen patients with aortic valve perforation, in fourteen of whom this complication developed during the course of bacterial endocarditis. Aortic cusp perforation should be suspected whenever moderately severe or severe aortic insufficiency appears during bacterial endocarditis. The murmur of aortic insufficiency caused

An aortic valve typically consists of three valve leaflets, named after their orientation relative to the left and right coronary artery. In 0.5–2 % of the general population, the aortic valve comprises only two leaflets, which is termed a bicuspid aortic valve (BAV).

Are bicuspid aortic valves a limitation for aortic valve repair?
European Journal of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery, 2011To compare the mid-term results after aortic valve (AV) repair in bicuspid AVs with those in tricuspid AVs.Between 2000 and 2010, 100 patients (mean age 47.2 years) underwent AV repair procedures for insufficient bicuspid AV (n=43) and tricuspid AV (n=57).

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)].

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 2013 A lateral projection chest roentgenogram (Fig 1) demonstrates two bioprosthetic aortic valves and shows how a modern problem was solved using an historical, and otherwise outdated, surgical procedure. A 65-year-old man presented in 2006 with severe symptoms of prosthetic aortic valve insufficiency after undergoing previous aortic valve replacement ...

Current Problems in Cardiology, 2005
The bicuspid aortic valve affects 1 to 2% of the population and may be complicated by aortic stenosis or aortic insufficiency and infective endocarditis. The bicuspid aortic valve is associated with abnormalities of the aortic wall such as coarctation of the aorta, aortic dissection, and aortic aneurysm.
