Abstract Aortic valve stenosis (AS) is the most prevalent valvular heart disease and is increasingly diagnosed in high-income countries due to an ageing population but also to more widely available diagnostic tools. The prevalence of AS is estimated at ~0.5% in the general population, ~2–3% in the population over 65 years old.

Aortic valve stenosis may be congenital or acquired. Medical management includes advice to avoid heavy physical effort, prevention of infective endocarditis, use of digitalis and diuretics for cardiac failure, and preservation of atrial systole. When operation is necessary, open aortic valve commissurotomy is preferred in children and replacement of ...

Abstract Echocardiography is the method of choice for the diagnosis, assessment of morphology, and aetiology, as well as quantification of aortic valve stenosis. It permits the additional evaluation of the consequences on left ventricular size and, function, wall thickness, mitral valve (functional regurgitation).Haemodynamic assessment ...

Ochronosis and Aortic Valve Stenosis
Journal of Cardiac Surgery, 2006Valvular heart disease has numerous etiologies. These range from congenital malformations to infectious and degenerative diseases. Clinically, these result in significant problems, the management of which can necessitate valve replacement with prosthetic heart valves. A rare cause is the deposition of foreign material in the valvular tissues, and these

Transcatheter aortic valve replacement in bicuspid aortic valve stenosis
Progress in Cardiovascular Diseases, 2020Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is the most common congenital cardiac abnormality in adults, and symptoms typically develops in adulthood. In the majority of cases, BAV disease progresses with age and surgical aortic valve replacement (AVR) is performed with excellent operative outcomes.

Challenging decompensated aortic valve stenosis
Heart, 2018> In the natural proofs, we should not search for geometrical exactness—Galileo Galilei The Authors’ reply With our study, we aimed to generate the first set of data and novel hypothesises concerning the treatment of decompensated severe aortic stenosis.1 Over the past years, transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has experienced a dramatic ...

Pathology of the Aortic Valve: Aortic Valve Stenosis/Aortic Regurgitation
Current Cardiology Reports, 2019This discussion is intended to review the anatomy and pathology of the aortic valve and aortic root region, and to provide a basis for the understanding of and treatment of the important life-threatening diseases that affect the aortic valve.The most exciting recent finding is that less invasive methods are being developed to treat diseases of the ...

Transcatheter aortic valve implantation in bicuspid aortic valve stenosis
EuroIntervention, 2016Bicuspid aortic stenosis (AS) is not rare in patients treated with transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). Bicuspid valves have unique anatomy which could affect the results of TAVI; however, multiple recent reports have shown that TAVI is safe and effective in this population.

Transcatheter aortic valve replacement in unicuspid aortic valve stenosis
Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, 2016Unicuspid aortic valve (UAV) offers unique challenges to transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), due to asymmetric expansion and apposition of the prosthesis during implantation. Although TAVR in bicuspid is now a well described experience, TAVR in unicuspid valve has not yet been described. A challenging case is described with TAVR in UAV using
