Sustained Improvement of Left Ventricular Strain following Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
PURPOSE: Left ventricular (LV) mechanics are impaired in patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS). Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has become a widespread technique for patients with severe AS considered inoperable or high risk for open ...

Sutureless vs. rapid-deployment valve: a systemic review and meta-analysis for a direct comparison of intraoperative performance and clinical outcomes

open access: yesFrontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2023
BackgroundSutureless and rapid-deployment valves are bioprostheses anchoring within the aortic annulus with few sutures, and they act as a hybrid of conventional surgical and transcatheter valves under aortic valve replacement.

Aortic valve anatomy and outcomes after transcatheter aortic valve implantation in bicuspid aortic valves

open access: yesInternational Journal of Cardiology, 2018
Aortic stenosis (AS) in bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) remains a challenge for transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). BAV is a condition encountered in young adults as well as elderly patients. Frequently we face in clinical practice elderly patients with BAV and severe AS, but there is little evidence concerning TAVI in this population.

Unicuspid aortic valve concomitant with aortic insufficiency presenting with infectious endocarditis: a case report

open access: yesJournal of Medical Case Reports, 2019
Background A unicuspid aortic valve is a rare congenital cardiac abnormality. Despite its uncommon finding on an initial presentation, aortic insufficiency is accompanied with unicuspid aortic valve and this might reflect the natural history of ...

A heart in a heart: a case report of spontaneous flail of bicuspid aortic valve

open access: yesJournal of Medical Case Reports, 2021
Background Aortic regurgitation is attributed to congenital and acquired abnormalities of the aortic valve or aortic valve supporting structures. The most common cause of aortic regurgitation is atherosclerotic degeneration of the valve, especially in ...
