ABSTRACT Background Transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR) is emerging in the context of annular calcification (valve‐in‐MAC; ViMAC), failing surgical mitral annuloplasty (mitral‐valve‐in‐ring; MViR) and failing mitral bioprosthesis (mitral‐valve‐in‐valve; MViV).

Long-term survival following aortic valve replacement : the influence of age, prosthesis-patient mismatch and indexed effective orifice area [PDF]
Background: Prosthesis-patient mismatch (PPM) has been linked to reduced long-term survival after aortic valve replacement. We studied the influence of age, PPM and indexed effective orifice area (iEOA) in this setting. Methods Patients (n=586) subjected

ABSTRACT A 21‐year‐old man, known case of the repaired congenital heart disease, developed complete atrioventricular block (AVB) one week after simultaneous bioprosthetic pulmonary and tricuspid valve replacement and atrial septal defect repair. Considering the persistence of the AVB, it was decided to implant a permanent pacemaker.

Exercise hemodynamics of bovine versus porcine bioprostheses: A prospective randomized comparison of the mosaic and perimount aortic valves [PDF]
ObjectiveThis prospective randomized study compares a porcine with a bovine bioprosthesis in the aortic position with regard to hemodynamic performance during exercise.MethodsBetween August of 2000 and December of 2002, 136 patients underwent aortic ...

Noninvasive diagnosis of complications of the mitral bioprosthesis
The echophonocardiographic diagnoses of valvular and paravalvular insufficiency, calcific stenosis, and thrombolic occlusion of the stent-mounted aortic homograft or heterograft in the mitral position are described. Paravalvular and valvular insufficiency were associated with apical systolic murmurs which decreased in intensity after amyl nitrite ...

An Early Presentation of Tricuspid Valve Rupture in a Trauma Patient With Congenital Heart Disease
Tricuspid valve regurgitation/rupture is a rare complication of trauma, with only around 150 cases reported in the literature, though this prevalence may be underestimated due to subtle clinical manifestations. The tricuspid valve is the most frequently affected heart valve following blunt chest trauma due to its anterior anatomical position between ...

Interdisciplinary three-step strategy to treat aortic stenosis and coronary artery disease in a patient with end-stage chronic obstructive pulmonary disease [PDF]
Background: Valvular aortic stenosis is a common disease in the elderly, often in multimorbid patients. It is often associated with coronary artery disease and peripheral artery disease.

Transapical aortic ‘valve-in-valve' procedure for degenerated stented bioprosthesis [PDF]
Standard surgical aortic valve replacement with a biological prosthesis remains the treatment of choice for low- and mid-risk elderly patients (traditionally >65 years of age) suffering from severe symptomatic aortic valve stenosis or insufficiency, and ...
