Chronic Otitis Media Resulting in Aortic Valve Replacement: A Case Report
The bicuspid aortic valve is known to be the most common congenital cardiac malformation, with an approximate incidence rate of 1-2% in the general population. Most patients are unaware of the disease until the onset of infective endocarditis, which is a

Aortic stenosis intricacies beyond the valve: A bidirectional Mendelian randomization study
Abstract Aims Numerous observational studies have reported an association between calcific aortic valve stenosis (CAVS) and an increased risk of other cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). However, the potential causal association is uncertain. Methods and results A bidirectional Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis was performed to confirm the causal ...

Coronary reserve in patients with aortic valve disease before and after successful aortic valve replacement [PDF]
In patients with aortic valve disease and normal coronary angiograms coronary reserve was determined by the coronary sinus thermodilution technique. Three groups of patients were studied: 37 preoperative patients; 18 different patients 12.52 months after

Quadricuspid Aortic Valve: Case Report and Brief Review [PDF]
Introduction: Quadricuspid Aortic Valve (QAV) is a rare congenital heart disease characterized by four leaflets that may be of identical or varying sizes. A less common scenario includes QAV accompanied by aortic valve stenosis.
