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).

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 ...

Microemboli in aortic valve replacement

Expert Review of Cardiovascular Therapy, 2006
Microembolic signals (MES) can be detected in many recipients of mechanical aortic valve prostheses by transcranial Doppler ultrasound. The nature and etiology of these MES have remained unclear for a long time. The solid and gaseous nature of MES are discussed, as well as whether or not MES may reflect artifacts.

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,

Incidence and feasibility of coronary access after transcatheter aortic valve replacement

Catheterization and cardiovascular interventions, 2020
Incidence of coronary access (CA) after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) at long‐term follow‐up remains unknown. CA and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) after TAVR might present technical challenges, particularly with supra‐annular ...

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 replacement with Evolut R versus Sapien 3 in Japanese patients with a small aortic annulus: The OCEAN‐TAVI registry

Catheterization and cardiovascular interventions, 2020
To compare safety, efficacy, and hemodynamics of transfemoral transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) using self‐expanding and balloon‐expandable transcatheter heart valves (THVs) in patients with a small aortic annulus.

Aortic Valve Replacement in the Young

Journal of Cardiac Surgery, 1994
The attractiveness of the aortic allograft in any form, whether it be free style or root, is the high 10-year freedom from thromboembolism, absence of requirement for anticoagulants, use in active infections, excellent hemodynamics, and freedom from reoperation. The 10-year freedom from all valve related complications has been reported to be around 92%

Aortic valve replacement for quadricuspid aortic valve incompetence.

The Journal of heart valve disease, 1998
Quadricuspid aortic valve is an uncommon cause of aortic regurgitation. We report two patients who underwent aortic valve replacement because of severe aortic incompetence; the presence of a quadricuspid aortic valve was an accidental surgical finding.

Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement

Anesthesiology Clinics, 2008
Aortic stenosis is one of the most common valve pathologies found in adults. Aortic valve replacement via a sternotomy and cardiopulmonary bypass is the treatment of choice for patients with symptomatic aortic stenosis with very acceptable risk. However, patients with advanced age and multiple comorbidities carry significant operative risk; operative ...
