ABSTRACT Background Despite the emergence of the transcaval (TCv) access route for transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) in the treatment of patients with hostile iliofemoral anatomy, the number of patients reported in clinical series of TCv TAVI has been relatively small (< 500 published cases). We assessed procedural and clinical outcomes in

Infectious endocarditis (IE) with acute heart failure is a medical emergency. In particular, postoperative IE after aortic repair with an artificial vascular graft is a life-threatening matter.

Rapid Prototyping Flexible Aortic Models Aids Sizing of Valve Leaflets and Planning the Ozaki Repair
Two patients with bicuspid aortic valve were selected for aortic valve repair using the Ozaki procedure. Patient-specific models of their aortic roots were generated based on computed tomography data and were 3-dimensional printed using a flexible resin.

Inhibition of MAPK-Erk pathway in vivo attenuates aortic valve disease processes in Emilin1-deficient mouse model [PDF]
Aortic valve disease (AVD) is a common condition with a progressive natural history, and presently, there are no pharmacologic treatment strategies. Elastic fiber fragmentation (EFF) is a hallmark of AVD, and increasing evidence implicates developmental ...

ABSTRACT Background and Aims Perventricular device closure of muscular VSD in small infants is a less invasive option than surgical closure under cardiopulmonary bypass and offers better outcomes than palliative pulmonary artery banding. However, the specific risk factors that could affect procedural success and optimal outcomes have not been ...

ABSTRACT Background and Aim Diagnosing significant left main coronary artery (LMCA) stenoses based on anatomical criteria remains challenging. The ARMYDA FINISH multicenter study evaluated whether indexing intravascular ultrasound (IVUS)‐derived minimum lumen area (MLA) provides greater diagnostic accuracy than unindexed MLA for detecting ...

ABSTRACT The superficial femoral artery (SFA) is a vascular access alternative for various cardiovascular interventions, especially when the common femoral artery CFA is deep, calcified or in high bifurcation. SFA use, however, was associated with pseudoaneurysms in older literature, and its utilization for large‐bore access is not well established. We

Computational simulations demonstrate altered wall shear stress in aortic coarctation patients previously treated by resection with end-to-end anastomosis [PDF]
Background. Atherosclerotic plaque in the descending thoracic aorta (dAo) is related to altered wall shear stress (WSS) for normal patients. Resection with end-to-end anastomosis (RWEA) is the gold standard for coarctation of the aorta (CoA) repair, but

Valve-Sparing Aortic Root Replacement and Aortic Valve Repair [PDF]
The impetus behind preservation of the native aortic valve derives from the desire to avoid the inherent shortcomings of prosthetic valves. These include the requirement for long term anticoagulation in the case of mechanical valves, and tissue degeneration with the need for re-operations with bioprostheses.
