Management options for severe aortic stenosis in non- surgical candidate patients

چکیده
Mrs JH is a 90 year old NZ European female with severe aortic stenosis (AS), who has had eight admissions in the previous twelve months with cardiogenic syncope, preceded by dyspnoea and palpitations on mild exertion. During this admission, she complained of dyspnoea on minimal exertion, but denied any chest pain. She was previously declined aortic valve replacement given her high surgical risk with a EuroSCORE II of 14, putting her estimated surgical mortality at 41.69%.

The primary results of this procedure are similar to surgical valvotomy with fewer complications and mortality. Materials and methods: One hundred fifty-five patients with congenital aortic stenosis were enrolled in this study over a period of 6 years (1991-1997). Participants were all un...

BACKGROUND Little is known about patients with severe symptomatic aortic stenosis (AS) who receive medical management despite evaluation at a heart valve treatment center. OBJECTIVE We identified patient characteristics associated with medical management, physician-reported reasons for selecting medical management, and patients' perceptions of their involvement and satisfaction with treatment...
متن کاملCongenital aortic stenosis--an unusual form. Consideration of surgical management.
Three patients with severe congenital aortic stenosis in whom there was unusual thickening of the aortic valve associated with supra-aortic stenosis and aortic hypoplasia are described. The clinical presentation suggested the diagnosis of organic subaortic stenosis and surgical management presented problems. It is suggested that the aortic stenosis in these patients may be part of a more diffus...

BACKGROUND Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) can be a potential life threatening condition if left untreated. Total endovascular techniques to approach aortic aneurysms have extended management options and enabled patients who are unfit for open surgery to undergo repair. Transcatheter aortic valve replacement is increasingly used to treat patients with severe symptomatic aortic stenosis, who onc...
متن کاملCurrent Indications for Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation
Rising life expectancy results in an increase of degenerative and neoplastic diseases. Population-based observational studies report that 1% to 2% of patients older than 65 years have moderate-to-severe aortic stenosis (AS) (Nkomo et al., 2006). Surgical aortic valve replacement (AVR) dates back to 1960 and is currently the only treatment option for severe AS that has been shown to improve surv...
