Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is now an established treatment option for elderly patients with severe ...

Background The evaluation of long-term inflammatory response and function in postoperative patients with aortic valve replacement (AVR) deserves special analysis because it is important to try to ...

In the setting of aortic or mitral valve disease, left‐sided pressure overload is transmitted across the pulmonary vasculature, with pulmonary hypertension being independently associated with worse ...

In valvular replacement surgery, especially in the construction of bioprosthetic valves with decellularized pericardial xenograft, glutaraldehyde (GA) is routinely utilized as the golden standard ...

The aortic valve controls the flow of blood out of the lower left chamber of the heart into the main artery (aorta). In native aortic valve regurgitation, the aortic valve cannot close properly and so ...

Evidence-based recommendations on transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) for native aortic valve regurgitation. This involves implanting a replacement valve inside the faulty native valve.

About this study The objective of ENVISION is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Navitor Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) System for treating patients with symptomatic, ...

Transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTR)-specific treatments and aortic valve replacement (AVR) are associated with significant survival benefits in patients with concomitant aortic stenosis and TTR amyloid ...

Aortic stenosis (AS) is a progressive disease characterized by important interindividual variability in the rate of disease progression. The pathophysiology of AS progression is complex and involves ...

Objective In this study, the impact of regular training on left ventricle morphology in a group of athletes with bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) was evaluated. Design Longitudinal cohort study. A group of ...

With targeted treatment using both medical therapy for transthyretin-associated cardiac amyloidosis (ATTR-CA) and valve replacement for aortic stenosis (AS), patients with the dual pathology can fare ...
