2017 and all that. The 2017 ESC/EACTS Guidelines for the management of valvular heart disease1 and in particular the recommendations with regard to choice of intervention mode for the treatment of aortic stenosis, may effect more change in cardiology treatment algorithms than most original research published in 2017, marking as they do, a significant shift towards transcatheter aortic valve… View more

Leaflet motion abnormalities (LMAs) are a relatively new entity in the field of transcatheter aortic valves (TAVs).1–4 They can be associated with the thrombosis of the bioprosthesis (TAVT), often leading to dramatic clinical scenarios1 or, on the other hand, they can result in a hypoattenuated leaflet thickening (HALT) and/or reduced leaflet motion (RELM), both usually associated with gradients… View more

Reconstructive valve surgery encompasses a comprehensive system of valve analysis and related techniques based on three basic principles as described by Alain Carpentier and colleagues: restoring or preserving the full mobility of the leaflets, creating a large surface of leaflet coaptation and remodelling the annulus to provide an optimal and stable orifice area.1 Mitral valve regurgitation (MR)… View more

Multivalvular Disease: Percutaneous Management in 2019 and Beyond
Author(s): Magdalena Erlebach , Ruediger Lange Added: 3 years ago
Patients with multivalvular disease (MVD) can present with a variety of valve pathologies and combinations, often requiring a complex treatment strategy. Both the Euro Heart Survey and the EURObservational Research Programme Valvular Heart Disease Registry (presented at the European Society of Cardiology [ESC] 2018 meeting) demonstrated that more than one-fifth of patients with native valve… View more
