A new technological system to revolutionize the management of valvular heart diseases: transcatheter aortic valve for the treatment of aortic stenosis [PDF]
The goal of this study is a technology analysis of a revolution for the management of valvular heart diseases given by new technological system based on transcatheter artificial aortic valve, a delivery catheter and a loading system for the treatment of aortic stenosis (a narrowing of the aortic valve because of calcium build up that restricts blood ...

Immersed boundary-finite element model of fluid-structure interaction in the aortic root [PDF]
It has long been recognized that aortic root elasticity helps to ensure efficient aortic valve closure, but our understanding of the functional importance of the elasticity and geometry of the aortic root continues to evolve as increasingly detailed in vivo imaging data become available.

Patient-specific image-based computer simulation for theprediction of valve morphology and calcium displacement after TAVI with the Medtronic CoreValve and the Edwards SAPIEN valve [PDF]
AIMS: Our aim was to validate patient-specific software integrating baseline anatomy and biomechanical properties of both the aortic root and valve for the prediction of valve morphology and aortic leaflet calcium displacement after TAVI.

Remote Ischemic Preconditioning Neither Improves Survival nor Reduces Myocardial or Kidney Injury in Patients Undergoing Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Peri-interventional myocardial injury occurs frequently during transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). We assessed the effect of remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) on myocardial injury, acute kidney injury (AKIN) and 6-month ...

Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement and Stroke [PDF]
The evaluation of any therapy includes an assessment of benefits and risks. For percutaneous coronary interventions, death and myocardial infarction are typically selected as the 2 hard end points for describing adverse events. Stroke may be observed during percutaneous coronary intervention and be a direct result of the procedure.

Development of a patient-specific finite element model of the Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) procedure [PDF]
This work reports on a study to develop a patient-specific finite element model of the Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation procedure, using a model of a balloon-expandable percutaneous prosthetic aortic valve as a framework for the prediction of its performance.

Cost-utility of transcatheter aortic valve implantation for inoperable patients with severe aortic stenosis treated by medical management: a UK cost-utility analysis based on patient-level data from the ADVANCE study. [PDF]
OBJECTIVE: To use patient-level data from the ADVANCE study to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) compared to medical management (MM) in patients with severe aortic stenosis from the perspective of the UK ...

Obstruction of 2 Coronary Arteries from Different Causes Immediately after Transapical Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement [PDF]
Coronary obstruction, a rare complication of transcatheter aortic valve replacement, can be fatal. Few data exist on this phenomenon, and, to date, authors have reported only single coronary lesions.

Numerical investigation of the flow induced by a transcatheter intra-aortic entrainment pump [PDF]
This study evaluates the fluid dynamics inside and outside transcatheter blood pump positioned in the aorta. We focus on the pump's impact on blood component damage and arterial wall stress. CFD simulations were performed for rotational speeds ranging from 6000 to 15000 rpm, with a blood flow rate of 1.6 L/min.
