P7 TELOMERE LENGTH AND AORTIC VALVE CALCIFICATION

Artery Research, 2018
Background: Short telomere length (TL) is associated with atherosclerosis development. Aortic valve stenosis, an age-related disease characterized by narrowing of the aortic opening, is mainly caused by aortic valve calcification.

Noradrenergic and cholinergic innervation of the normal human heart and changes associated with cardiomyopathy

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Autonomic nerves are crucial in cardiac function and pathology. However, data on the distribution of cholinergic and noradrenergic nerves in normal and pathologic human hearts is lacking. Nonfailing donor hearts were pressure‐perfusion fixed, imaged, and dissected. Left ventricular cardiomyopathy samples were also obtained.

Never Too Late: A Case Report on Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation in a 97-Year-Old Patient

Geriatrics, 2017
Aortic valve stenosis is a well-recognized valvular problem in the aging population. Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is becoming an increasingly popular treatment alternative to surgical aortic valve replacement for frail elderly ...

Morphological and morphometric aspects of the equine aortic valve: New insights for comparative studies in mammals

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract New data on the equine aortic valve obtained using advanced techniques is especially important given the greater availability of animal models for translational research. Here we characterized the morphological and morphometric aspects of the equine aortic valve from 60 healthy hearts collected at equine abattoirs.

Balloon Aortic Valvuloplasty Prior to Self‐Expanding TAVI: The BAVSE‐TAVI Registry

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Direct transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) approach is feasible and safe compared to predilatation‐TAVI. Certain clinical and computerized tomography (CT)‐based characteristics might indicate the need for balloon aortic valvuloplasty (BAV) before TAVI, especially with self‐expanding valves.

Management of Lost Atherectomy Devices in the Coronary Arteries

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rotational and orbital atherectomy are important tools to treat calcific coronary disease. Entrapment of an atherectomy device, that is, rotational atherectomy burr or orbital atherectomy crown, is a serious complication during atherectomy. Loss of an atherectomy device is a more challenging complication that usually follows device entrapment.

Long‐Term Durability of Transcatheter Aortic Valves in Patients With Bicuspid Aortic Stenosis

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Data concerning the long‐term durability of transcatheter aortic valves (TAVs) in patients with bicuspid aortic stenosis (AS) are lacking. Aims The study aims to report data on long‐term valve durability following transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) in bicuspid AS.

Transcatheter, valve-in-valve transapical aortic and mitral valve implantation, in a high risk patient with aortic and mitral prosthetic valve stenoses

Annals of Cardiac Anaesthesia, 2015
Transcatheter valve implantation continues to grow worldwide and has been used principally for the nonsurgical management of native aortic valvular disease-as a potentially less invasive method of valve replacement in high-risk and inoperable patients ...

Severe Vasoplegic Syndrome Treated with Angiotensin II and Hemoadsorption Therapy after Cardiac Surgery

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Vasoplegic syndrome (VS) is a common complication after cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). The main pathophysiology mechanism of VS includes a systemic inflammatory response syndrome due to surgical trauma, release of pro‐inflammatory mediators caused by blood contact with foreign surfaces of heart‐lung machine (pump and tubing)

Percutaneous dual-valve intervention in a high-risk patient with severe aortic and mitral stenosis

Heart Views, 2016
Aortic stenosis is the most frequent and mitral stenosis is the least frequent native single-sided valve disease in Europe. Patients with the combination of severe symptomatic degenerative aortic and mitral stenosis are very rare.
