In this work, the hemodynamics in the sinuses of Valsalva after Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation is numerically examined. We focus on the physical results in the two-dimensional case. We use a finite element methodology based on a Lagrange multiplier technique that enables to couple the dynamics of blood flow and the leaflets’ movement. A massively parallel implementation of a monolithic...

Background: Valve-in-Valve (VIV) Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) is now the treatment of choice in high-surgical-risk patients with failing aortic bioprosthesis. Although less performed, VIV-Transcatheter Mitral Valve Replacement (TMVR) is a valid treatment option for selected high-risk patients with degenerated mitral bioprostheses. Several cases of elective ViVTAVR and -TMVR hav...

background: the transcatheter closure of the atrial septal defect (asd) has become an alternative technique to surgical procedures . the aim of this study was to assess the immediate, short, and intermediate-term results of the transcatheter closure of the secundum asd with the amplatzer septal occluder (aso) in adult iranian patients. methods: between december 2004 and july 2008, the transcath...

total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (tapvc) is an anomaly in which the pulmonary veins are directly connected to one of the systemic veins or drain into the right atrium. management of pulmonary hypertension after the total correction of this congenital cardiac anomaly is very important. unligation of the vertical vein in the supracardiac type of this anomaly can be a draining pathway f...

Transcatheter aortic valve replacement is increasingly performed as a minimally invasive treatment option for aortic valve disease. The typical anesthetic management for this procedure was traditionally similar to surgical aortic valve replacement and involved general anesthesia and transesophageal echocardiography. In this review, we discuss the technological advances in transcatheter valve sy...

Renal arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is an uncommon anomaly characterized by the communication between renal arteries and veins. Renal AVFs are often asymptomatic but are occasionally accompanied by hematuria or heart failure. Transcatheter closure with embolization is a safe and effective treatment for renal AVF. We herein report an 87-year-old patient with heart failure due to renal AVF who was ...

Background Recent published literature has validated the use of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) in highrisk patients with aortic stenosis. These trials and registries have largely focused on combined morbidity and mortality outcomes with little focus given to impact on early myocardial function. We assessed effects on myocardial function, reversible and irreversible myocardial in...

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide, with increasing Transcatheter Arterial Chemoembolization Plus I-Labelled Metuximab versus Transcatheter Arterial Chemoembolization Alone in Intermediate/Advanced Stage Hepatocellular Carcinoma: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Ze-xin Zhu, MD, Ming-heng Liao, MD, Xiao-xue Wang, MD, Ji-wei Huang, P...

Transcatheter aortic valve replacement has been available to treat aortic valve disease for just over a decade and in that time, its use has expanded rapidly around the world. All transcatheter aortic valve replacement procedures depend on having safe remote access to the aortic valve. If femoral access is not feasible or safe, nonfemoral access routes are imperative. This article will discuss ...

Ventricular septal defect (VSD) is a common congenital heart disease (CHD) in childhood, and its incidence about 20% of CHD. Surgical closure or repair safe with acceptable results. Transcatheter VSD offers excellent Coil system developed for transcatheter occlusion. Infective endocarditis (IE) post device implantation very rare; however, it possible. IE represents surgical challenge associated...
