Aortic valvuloplasty of calcific aortic stenosis with monofoil and trefoil balloon catheters: practical considerations [PDF]
In order to evaluate the relation between balloon design (monofoil, trefoil) and valvular configuration, experimental aortic valvuloplasty was performed in four post-mortem hearts with calcific aortic ...

Perinatal outcomes of resolved fetal cystic hygromas
Abstract Introduction Cystic hygroma is associated with additional fetal anomalies and genetic abnormalities. Although some cystic hygromas can progress to hydrops fetalis, some regress and resolve with advancing gestation. We aimed to describe the frequency with which cystic hygromas resolve, the prevalence and types of underlying genetic diagnoses ...

Endocardial-mesenchymal transition underlies fusion of the conotruncal ridges during embryonic cardiac outflow tract septation [PDF]
The embryonic cardiac outflow tract (conotruncus) is a single tubular chamber that connects the right ventricle with the aortic arch arteries. It contains two opposite, long and helical mesenchymal cushions covered by endocardial cells (conotruncal ...

Abstract Aims Few studies have examined the incidence, prevalence, survival rate and death risk for non‐rheumatic and rheumatic aortic stenosis (AS; RAS), aortic insufficiency (AR; RAR) and aortic stenosis with insufficiency (ASAR; RASAR). This study aims to identify the epidemiology of AS, AR, ASAR, RAS, RAR and RASAR.

Embryonic Development of the Bicuspid Aortic Valve
Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is the most common congenital valvular heart defect with an overall frequency of 0.5%–1.2%. BAVs result from abnormal aortic cusp formation during valvulogenesis, whereby adjacent cusps fuse into a single large cusp resulting in two, instead of the normal three, aortic cusps.

Bicuspid Aortic Valves With Different Spatial Orientations of the Leaflets Are Distinct Etiological Entities [PDF]
ObjectivesThe aim of this study was to decide whether bicuspid aortic valves (BAVs) with fused right and noncoronary leaflets (R-N) and BAVs with fused right and left leaflets (R-L) have different etiologies or are the product of a single diathesis ...

ABSTRACT Background and Aims Transcatheter closure of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA), particularly with the Amplatzer Piccolo Occluder, offers advantages over surgical closure, including better recovery and lower risk of complications. Although its smaller profile is preferred for neonatal endovascular closure, it may be used in patients of varying ...

Aortendilatation und Funktion des linken Ventrikels bei bikuspider Aortenklappe [PDF]
Einleitung: Die bikuspide Aortenklappe (BAK) ist mit einer Prävalenz von 0.5-2% der häufigste angeborene Herzfehler. Die Dilatation der Aorta ascendens ist eine häufige Begleiterkrankung der BAK, die im schlimmsten Fall zum plötzlichen Herztod bei ...
