Emergent Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement for Aortic Insufficiency [PDF]
There are few case reports in the literature of transcatheter aortic valve replacement used as emergent therapy for aortic insufficiency. We present a case in which transcatheter aortic valve replacement was implemented successfully as a salvage therapy in a hemodynamically unstable patient having aortic insufficiency as a result of a torn ...

Short-term results of thoracic aorta aneurysm repair and aortic valve reimplantation
Aim: The study was designed to summarize short-term results of aortic valve reimplantation (David procedure) in patients suffering from thoracic aorta aneurysm and aortic valve insufficiency. Methods: 132 patients were operated for various types of aorta

Prosthesis–patient mismatch is less frequent and more clinically indolent in patients operated for aortic insufficiency [PDF]
ObjectiveTo date, no study has focused on the incidence and effects of prosthesis–patient mismatch in patients requiring aortic valve replacement for aortic insufficiency. We hypothesized that the incidence and implications of prosthesis–patient mismatch

Aortic valve repair: An exciting journey
Aortic valve repair has become an attractive alternative to aortic valve replacement in most of the patients with aortic insufficiency. To improve reproducibility and durability “geometric anatomy” of the valve has been developed to guide the repair ...

Controlled Comparison of Simulated Hemodynamics across Tricuspid and Bicuspid Aortic Valves [PDF]
Bicuspid aortic valve is the most common congenital heart defect, affecting 1-2% of the global population. Patients with bicuspid valves frequently develop dilation and aneurysms of the ascending aorta. Both hemodynamic and genetic factors are believed to contribute to dilation, yet the precise mechanism underlying this progression remains under debate.

Repair of the aortic valve in patients with aortic insufficiency and aortic root aneurysm [PDF]
Patients with aneurysms of the ascending aorta or aortic root frequently have aortic insufficiency despite normal aortic leaflets. The aortic valve dysfunction is caused by dilatation of the sinotubular junction, distortion or dilatation of the sinuses of Valsalva, annuloaortic ectasia, or a combination of these problems.

Aortic cusp extension valvuloplasty with or without tricuspidization in children and adolescents: Long-term results and freedom from aortic valve replacement [PDF]
ObjectiveAortic cusp extension valvuloplasty is increasingly used in the management of children and adolescents with aortic stenosis or regurgitation. The durability of this approach and the freedom from valve replacement are not well defined.

Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation Bailout for Severe Aortic Insufficiency due to Aortic Root Dissection Following Ascending Aortic Aneurysm Repair [PDF]
This novel case documents the successful use of transcatheter aortic valve implantation to treat severe aortic insufficiency arising from aortic root dissection following the repair of an ascending aortic aneurysm in a 75-year-old female patient.
