Thoracic aorta cardiac-cycle related dynamic changes assessed with a 256-slice CT scanner [PDF]
Objective: The aim of our study was to demonstrate whether the dynamic changes previously documented at the ascending and abdominal aorta are replicated at the thoracic aorta.

Aortic valve repair using geometric ring annuloplasty
In the 1980s, Carpentier and Cosgrove, reported the first series of aortic valve repair using Cabrol commissural annulopastia for annular reduction and leaflet wedge resection for prolapse correction. Later T. David and J.

Quadriscupid aortic valve with concurrent aortic stenosis and insufficiency [PDF]
We present the case of a 22-year-old man with a congenital mixed aortic valve dysfunction who underwent cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) for the assessment of aortic valve morphology and function prior to valve replacement.

Tricuspidisation of the aortic valve with creation of a crown-like annulus is able to restore a normal valve function in bicuspid aortic valves [PDF]
Objective: To evaluate the early results of a new method to repair malfunctioning bicuspid aortic valves by creating a tricuspid valve with a crown-like (i.e. anatomic) annulus.

Results of matching valve and root repair to aortic valve and root pathology [PDF]
ObjectiveFor patients with aortic root pathology and aortic valve regurgitation, aortic valve replacement is problematic because no durable bioprosthesis exists, and mechanical valves require lifetime anticoagulation. This study sought to assess outcomes

Ascending Aortic Aneurysm Repair Combined with Ozaki Procedure: Our First Experience
Introduction. Aortic valve disease is often combined with the ascending aortic aneurysm. According to a number of authors, the frequency of the diagnosis varies from 9 to 50%, and the condition requires one-stage surgical correction.

Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation in Dialysis Patients [PDF]
Background/Aims: Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has emerged as a new therapeutic option for high-risk patients. However, dialysis patients were excluded from all previous studies.

Background The aortic valve of the heart experiences constant mechanical stress under physiological conditions. Maladaptive valve injury responses contribute to the development of valvular heart disease. Here, we test the hypothesis that MG53 (mitsugumin
