Left ventricular diastolic function in valvular aortic stenosis after aortic valve replacement [PDF]
In adults with significant sympthomatic aortic valve stenosis, aortic valve replacement is therapy of choice. Replacement of the diseased aortic valve with a prosthetic valve yields relief of left ventricular outflow obstruction.

Long-Term relative survival rates after heart valve replacement [PDF]
The calculation and comparison of relative survival rates after interventional studies is a method that permits correction for important demographic variables, thereby adjusting for the “background mortality” in the general population. Long-term relative

Cardiac Surgery in Octogenarians; Peri-Operative Outcome and Long-Term Results [PDF]
AIMS: Because the elderly are increasingly referred for operation, we reviewed the results of cardiac surgery in patients of 80 years or older. METHODS AND RESULTS: Records of 182 consecutive octogenarians who had had cardiac operations between 1992 and ...

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.

Quality of life after aortic valve repair is similar to Ross patients and superior to mechanical valve replacement: A cross-sectional study [PDF]
Background: In patients after aortic valve surgery, the quality of life is hypothesized to be influenced by the type of the valve procedure. A cross-sectional study on the postoperative quality of life was carried out in patients after aortic valve ...

TRANSCATHETER AORTIC VALVE REPLACEMENT IN BICUSPID AORTIC VALVE DISEASE [PDF]
BACKGROUND Limited information exists describing the results of transcatheter aortic valve (TAV) replacement in patients with bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) disease (TAV-in-BAV). OBJECTIVES This study sought to evaluate clinical outcomes of a large cohort of patients undergoing TAV-in-BAV.

ADVANCES IN THE APPLICATION OF THE “VALVE-IN-VALVE” TECHNIQUE IN TRANSCATHETER AORTIC VALVE REPLACEMENT [PDF]
More and more biological valves have been used in aortic valve replacement in the world due to their unique advantages; however, due to the poor durability of biological valves and other reasons, valve deterioration is an inevitable problem of artificial
