Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation in Dialysis Patients [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Background/Aims: Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has emerged as a new therapeutic option for high-risk patients. However, dialysis patients were excluded from all previous studies.

Assessment of Right Ventricular Systolic Function with 3-Dimensional Speckle Tracking Echocardiography in Isolated Mild Mitral Stenosis

open access: yesAnatolian Journal of Cardiology, 2023
Background: In rheumatic severe mitral stenosis, right ventricular mechanics deteriorate with the increasing severity of mitral stenosis. Therefore, we aimed to investigate right ventricular mechanics in patients with mild mitral stenosis using 3 ...

Transcatheter aortic-valve replacement for inoperable severe aortic stenosis. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
BACKGROUND: Transcatheter aortic-valve replacement (TAVR) is the recommended therapy for patients with severe aortic stenosis who are not suitable candidates for surgery. The outcomes beyond 1 year in such patients are not known.

Life-threatening hemoptysis following mitral valvuloplasty for rheumatic mitral stenosis

open access: yesRespiratory Medicine Case Reports, 2019
Background: Massive hemoptysis is a rare complication of rheumatic mitral valve stenosis. Its recurrence following successful initial treatment of the stenosis has not, to our knowledge, been described.

Three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography incremental value in a case with a rare combination of tricuspid valve prolapse and rheumatic mitral valve stenosis

open access: yesThe Egyptian Heart Journal, 2015
Introduction: The tricuspid valve (TV) is a complex structure (Lamers et al. (1995) [1]). The most common cause of pathologic tricuspid regurgitation is functional, due to annular dilatation with normal leaflet morphology (Sagie et al.

Increasing Temporal Resolution of 3D Transesophageal Ultrasound by Rigid Body Registration of Sequential, Temporally Offset Sequences [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
A description of mitral valve function requires both an accurate anatomical description of the three-dimensional (3D) structure as well as a description of the leaflets' rapid motion.

Left Ventricular Remodeling Shortly after Open Mitral Valve Replacement for Rheumatic Mitral Stenosis

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Cardiovascular Surgery, 2021
Introduction: Left ventricular dysfunction after surgical treatment of mitral stenosis is uncommon. We intend to determine the pattern of left ventricular remodeling, shortly after open mitral valve replacement for rheumatic mitral stenosis, with in ...
