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.

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 ...

Non-linear finite element analyses of the aortic heart valve [PDF]
Includes bibliographical references.Finite element models of the aortic heart valve have been successfully used in the past to gain insight into the mechanics of the valve and to aid in understanding of valve failure.

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 ...

LVAD with concomitant rapid deployment valve implantation – a case report
Background Aortic valve insufficiency can have significant hemodynamic consequences for patients with left ventricular assist devices. A circulation loop can limit systemic blood flow and increase left ventricular filling pressure. Case presentation A 64-

Multimodality Evaluation of Aortic Insufficiency and Aortitis in Rheumatologic Diseases
Aortic insufficiency is commonly observed in rheumatologic diseases such as ankylosing spondylitis, systemic lupus erythematosus, antiphospholipid syndrome, Behçet's disease, granulomatosis with polyangiitis, and Takayasu arteritis.

Quadricuspid aortic valve associated with aortic insufficiency contributors
A 51-year-old male presented with a wound in his right hand that was suspicious for possible septic emboli of cardiac origin. With transesophageal echocardiography, the patient was found to have a rare quadricuspid aortic valve. This quadricuspid valve can present with variable symptoms and physical exam findings.

Hemangioma of the Atherosclerotic Changed Aortic Valve
The incidence of heart valve hemangioma is very low and is mostly observed in the mitral and tricuspid valve. In 2006, two cases of aortic valve hemangioma were reported for the first time, including one with calcifying aortic valve stenosis.
