Annular Ellipticity and Sizing Strategy in Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation: Independent or Combined Risk Patterns?

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Elliptical annular anatomy has been considered a risk factor for adverse outcomes after TAVI, particularly paravalvular leakage (PVL). Prosthesis oversizing is thought to improve sealing, but the interaction between annular shape and sizing strategy remains unclear.

Increased calcification by erythrophagocytosis in aortic valvular interstitial cells

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1469-1473, April 2025.
Abstract Background Calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD) progresses over time to severe aortic stenosis and eventually heart failure. Recent evidence indicates that intraleaflet haemorrhage (ILH) strongly promotes CAVD progression. However, it remains poorly understood how it mechanistically contributes to valvular calcification.

Augmented Reality of Anatomical Structures of the Maxillomandibular Complex for Learning Dental Radiographic Techniques

Journal of Dental Education, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Augmented reality (AR) enables interactive learning in real‐world environments. In dental radiography education, AR offers a promising tool to enhance students' clinical skills by allowing them to simulate and practice procedures before engaging with actual patients. Repeated practice in an AR environment can reinforce theoretical

Bicuspid aortic valve.

Annals of thoracic and cardiovascular surgery : official journal of the Association of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgeons of Asia, 2002
The bicuspid aortic valve is a common congenital cardiac anomaly, having an incidence in the general population of 0.9% to 2.0% and a frequency of 54% in all patients aged >15 years with valvular aortic stenosis. In most cases it remains undetected until infective endocarditis or calcification supervenes. The bicuspid aortic valve may function normally

Longitudinal 4D Flow MRI‐Derived Wall Shear Stress in Patients With an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm

Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background 4D flow MRI‐derived parameters such as wall shear stress (WSS) may improve abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) progression prediction. Validation of this biomarker is needed, but longitudinal data are lacking. Purpose Investigate longitudinal WSS changes and associations with AAA morphology. Study Type Prospective.
