Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement: A Review Article
Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is a novel therapeutic intervention for the replacement of severely stenotic aortic valves in high-risk patients for standard surgical procedures. Since the initial PARTNER trial results, use of TAVR has been on the rise each year. New delivery methods and different valves have been developed and modified in order to promote the minimally invasive p...
متن کاملValve-sparing aortic root replacement and aortic valve repair in a patient with acromegaly and aortic root dilatation
Aortic regurgitation and dilatation of the aortic root and ascending aorta are severe complications of acromegaly. The current trend for management of an aortic root aneurysm is valve-sparing root replacement as well as restoring the diameter of the aortic sinotubular junction (STJ) and annulus. Our case report supports the recommendation that in patients with acromegaly, severe aortic root inv...
متن کاملStentless Aortic Valve/Root Replacement
In-vitro, stentless valves have a larger effective orifice area than their stented counterparts. This is best exemplified by the fact that a 25-mm Mosaic valve, which is stented, is manufactured using a 23-mm Freestyle stentless valve. So, in order to end-up with similar effective orifice areas when implanting a stentless valve or a stented valve in the same size left ventricular outflow tract,...
متن کاملValve-sparing aortic root replacement.
The aortic root has a unique 3-dimensional configuration and the distinctive function of supporting the aortic valve and blood vessels. The sinuses of Valsalva are crucial to create appropriate eddy currents that are important in initiating and coordinating aortic valve closure and promoting coronary artery blood flow. Most aneurysms in the aortic root are associated with degenerative changes i...
متن کاملDoes aortic valve repair in valve-sparing aortic root reconstruction compromise the longevity of the procedure?
OBJECTIVES: The effect of performing aortic valve repair in combination with valve-sparing operation on the length of time for which patients are free from reoperation is unclear. The objective of this study was to determine if the performance of aortic valve repair during valve-sparing operation modified the freedom from reoperation time. METHODS: From January 2003 to July 2014, 78 patients ...
