Abstract Background Quadricuspid aortic valve (QAV) is a rare congenital heart defect usually accompanied with different hemodynamic abnormalities. Due to the rarity of QAV, treatment and prognosis QAV patients regurgitation still remain challenging. We here present first case patient severe who underwent successful performed favorable transapical implantation (TAVI) using J-Valve system. Case ...

The assessment of the severity of aortic stenosis has been the subject of much clinical research. Because of the changes in severe aortic valve lesions in adults, much consideration has been given to the nature and form of the pulse (Wood, 1958) particularly that in the brachial artery, as observed either by palpation or by the recording of an intra-arterial pulse tracing. Cosby et al. (1962) w...

BACKGROUND Most coronary artery anomalies are congenital in origin. This study angiographically determined the prevalence of different forms of anomalous aortic origins of coronary anomalies and their anatomic variation in a selected adult Lebanese population. Correlation between these anomalies and stenotic coronary atherosclerotic disease was also investigated. METHODS 4650 coronary angiogr...

transcatheter aortic valve implantation (tavi) is a new therapeutic option for patients with severe aortic stenosis with unacceptable surgical risk for conventional aortic valve surgery. a bicuspid aortic valve (bav) is the most common congenital cardiac disorder (1% of the population) and currently is considered exclusion criteria for tavi, because it predicts an increased risk of adverse aort...
