Transcatheter aortic valve replacement
Nursing Critical Care, 2019 Abstract: Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is indicated in some patients with severe aortic stenosis for whom surgical intervention is not deemed appropriate. This article explores when TAVR may be the preferred treatment option over surgical aortic valve replacement and discusses various prosthetic valve devices.

The living aortic valve: From molecules to function. [PDF]
, 2014 The aortic valve lies in a unique hemodynamic environment, one characterized by a range of stresses (shear stress, bending forces, loading forces and strain) that vary in intensity and direction throughout the cardiac cycle.

Use of Aortic Valve Homografts for Aortic Valve Replacement [PDF]
Circulation, 1971 One hundred sixty-nine patients underwent replacement of the aortic valve with an aortic valve homograft; of these patients 17 had concomitant commissurotomy or annuloplasty for an associated mitral valve lesion. Homografts were prepared by sterilization with beta-propiolactone solution and stored in Hanks' solution, or were prepared by sterilization ...

Prosthetic Aortic Valve Stenosis in End-Stage Renal Failure [PDF]
, 2011 Although renal failure is one of the known comorbidities associated with rapid progression of aortic stenosis, it is unclear whether hemodialysis alters the progression of prosthetic aortic valve stenosis.

Totally percutaneous valve replacement for severe aortic regurgitation in a degenerating bioprosthesis [PDF]
, 2008 Recently, the feasibility and safety of percutaneous aortic valve replacement (PAVR) has been reported in the treatment of degenerative aortic valve stenosis in patients at high-risk for surgical aortic valve replacement (AVR).1 However, so far this ...

Bicuspid Aortic Valve Disease: Classifications, Treatments, and Emerging Transcatheter Paradigms [PDF]
Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is a common congenital valvular malformation, which may lead to early aortic valve disease and bicuspid-associated aortopathy. A novel BAV classification system was recently proposed to coincide with transcatheter aortic valve

Endoscopic Aortic Valve Replacement
The Heart Surgery Forum, 2005 During the last 8 years, many different approaches for minimally invasive aortic valve surgery have emerged. We have developed a technique that enables total endoscopic aortic valve replacement with port access, via a small right lateral thoracotomy with only soft tissue retraction and minimally invasive aortic crossclamping. The operation is performed
