Isolated Redo Aortic Valve Replacement Versus Valve-in-Valve Transcatheter Valve Replacement

Valve replacement—a perspective

The American Journal of Cardiology, 1975
Several potential hazards in the evaluation of patients with valve replacement are emphasized. A more uniform method of analysis of data is urgently needed. In the symptomatically disabled patient aortic and mitral valve replacement have improved both the quality of life and the length of life, provided that the disease is not far advanced ...
