Q-fever prosthetic valve endocarditis in a patient with SLE and antiphospholipid antibody syndrome

Journal of Infection and Public Health, 2020
Q fever prosthetic valve endocarditis in association with antiphospholipid antibody syndrome (APS) in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) has not been previously reported. Here, we report a 22-year-old Saudi female diagnosed with SLE and APS.

Enabling automated device size selection for transcatheter aortic valve implantation [PDF]

, 2019
The number of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) procedures is expected to increase significantly in the coming years. Improving efficiency will become essential for experienced operators performing large TAVI volumes, while new operators ...

Preoperative aortic annulus size assessment by transthoracic echocardiography compared to the size of surgically implanted aortic prostheses

Echo Research and Practice, 2019
Objectives: The aortic annulus diameter measured by transthoracic echocardiography yields lower values than by computed tomography, and echo-based selection of transcatheter aortic valve prosthesis size has been implied to result in more frequent ...

Annular and supra-annular structure assessments for transcatheter aortic valve replacement in patients with bicuspid aortic stenosis

Reviews in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2021
The clinical use indications for transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) for the treatment of severe symptomatic aortic stenosis (AS) have expanded from patients at high surgical risk to those at low risk based on the results of multiple large ...

Analysis of left ventricular behaviour in diastole by means of finite element method [PDF]

, 1979
The human left ventricle in diastole can be modelled as a passive structure with incremental internal pressure change being considered as the load. Recent developments in engineering stress analysis provide techniques for predicting the behaviour of ...

Clinical experience with the Bicarbon heart valve prosthesis [PDF]

Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery, 2007
We have previously reported mid-term results of a study, which ended in January 2000, on the Bicarbon valve. The study concluded that the valve showed excellent clinical results, associated with a low incidence of valve-related complications. In the present study, the same patients were prospectively followed for an additional 5 years.Forty-four ...
