Aortic Root Replacement to Accommodate Future Valve-in-Valve Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 2021
Coronary obstruction is a feared complication associated with valve-in-valve transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) that may prevent patients with high anatomical risk from being considered. Aortic root replacement at the time of the index TAVR allows higher coronary implantation and augmentation of transcatheter heart valve to coronary ostial ...

Aortic Valve Replacement

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1968
he development of the ball-valve prosthesis for replacement of the diseased aortic valve by Starr et al. [22] extended operability T to many patients for whom palliative surgical treatment had not been previously available. Many of these patients now survive and are subject to the benefits and risks of this prosthesis, for which the long-term results ...

Aortic valve replacement for ochronosis of the aortic valve.

CHEST Journal, 1978
A patient with generalized ochronosis developed severe cardiovascular symptoms related to ochronotic deposits on the aortic valve and in the coronary arteries. A transvalvular gradient of 100 mm Hg and obstruction of the left anterior descending coronary artery were found by catheterization.

Aortic Valve Replacement in the Elderly

Journal of the American Geriatrics Society, 1983
In order to determine the risk of aortic valve replacement in the elderly, 77 patients over the age of 60 who had undergone this procedure were reviewed. Hypothermic‐hyperkalemic cardioplegia was used in all patients. In 55 patients with isolated aortic valve replacement there were three deaths (5.5 per cent).

Aortic Valve Replacement in Octogenarians

Heart, Lung and Circulation, 2014
With improved life expectancy more octogenarians now present with aortic valve disease. Cardiac surgery in this group of patients has previously been considered high risk due to co-morbidities and challenges of rehabilitation. This study seeks to challenge the concept of octogenarian cardiac surgery "unsuitability" by analysing operative outcomes and ...

Transcatheter Aortic Valve Therapy Is Not Aortic Valve Replacement

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 2009
I read with interest the increasing number of scientific articles involving transcatheter aortic valve replacement. The meaning of the term “replacement” is to substitute something with something else. Yet, at present, the only way to substitute a stenotic aortic valve is to take away the calcific or fibrotic tissue and put in a new prosthetic valve,

HETEROGRAFT AORTIC-VALVE REPLACEMENT

The Lancet, 1967
Abstract Heterograft aortic valves from calves and pigs were used as valve replacements in 23 patients at St. Vincent's Hospital, Melbourne, from February, 1966, to November, 1966. The results point to some advantages in this method of valve replacement, but long-term follow-up of function must be carried out before it can be applied to patients with ...

Emergency aortic valve replacement

The American Journal of Surgery, 1976
The aortic valve was replaced as an emergency in twenty-seven patients between July 1970 and December 1974. Twenty-two patients had critical aortic stenosis and five had acute aortic insufficiency. The indications for emergency surgery were cardiac arrest in five patients, low cardiac output in four patients, and medically intractable pulmonary edema ...

HETEROGRAFT AORTIC VALVE REPLACEMENT

Medical Journal of Australia, 1968
Heterograft aortic valves from calves and pigs were used as valve replacements in 23 patients at St. Vincent's Hospital, Melbourne, from February, 1966, to November, 1966. The results point to some advantages in this method of valve replacement, but long-term follow-up of function must be carried out before it can be applied to patients with less ...
