Bicuspid aortic valves are associated with ascending aortic pathology, but their impact on long‐term outcomes, including aortic growth and adverse events, remains unclear. This prospective ...

The aorta is widest at the point where it connects to the heart's left ventricle through the aortic valve; then, it gets progressively narrower as it descends into the abdomen. The aorta is divided ...

But in this patient, due to a delay in treatment, the aortic valve cusp prolapse prevented the development of severe pulmonary hypertension by obliterating the VSD almost completely, but this ...

and marked coronary arteriosclerosis. The aortic leaflets were flexible and no calcium was seen, but the valves were fused along adjacent cusps. The mitral valve was normal. Comment. The squeaking ...

Bioprosthetic valve dysfunction and reoperations/reinterventions are common after aortic valve replacement (AVR) with bioprosthetic valves, leading to cycles of left ...

The three other types of leaky heart valves include aortic valve regurgitation, tricuspid valve regurgitation and pulmonary valve regurgitation. In addition to age-related changes that take place in ...

Background: Following transcatheter aortic valve replacement, acute coronary obstruction is infrequent but potentially life-threatening, while delayed coronary obstruction is even more uncommon. Case ...

Data shows, versus surgery, the Evolut™ transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) system delivers a numerically lower rate of all-cause mortality or disabling stroke at five years ...

Transcatheter aortic-valve implantation (TAVI) is associated with procedure-related stroke. Cerebral embolic protection (CEP) devices may reduce embolization to the cerebral circulation and hence ...

self-expanding Evolut transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) had similar rates of death or disabling stroke at five years compared with those whose valves were replaced through standard open ...

Patients enrolled at 28 U.S. sites between 2018 and 2024 with moderate-to-severe or severe symptomatic aortic regurgitation underwent TAVR with the JenaValve Trilogy transcatheter heart valve. Total ...
