Abdominal aortic aneurysms remain a challenging diagnosis for patients. Over the last 18 years, the minimally invasive endovascular approach has developed into a viable alternative to traditional open surgery for the treatment of these abnormal aortic dilatations. Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) is the preferred method of repairing abdominal aneurysms in older and high-risk patients. EVAR has… View more

Randomised trials in the infra-renal abdominal aorta have demonstrated endovascular is better than open repair in preventing aneurysm-related death up to four years post-operatively. Patients with thoracic aneurysms potentially have even more to gain from the endovascular technique. Mortality rates from open thoracic aneurysm repair are three times higher than the infra-renal aorta. Furthermore,… View more

Catheter-based interventions for mitral regurgitation are currently under clinical evaluation. They represent the natural evolution of surgical treatment, which has been characterised by a progressive decline of invasiveness from the traditional open-heart and open-chest procedures to minimally invasive video-assisted procedures (including robotic technology), with closed-heart solutions using… View more

Tricuspid Regurgitation: How Will Valve Repair Change Our Practice?
Author(s): Ralph Stephan von Bardeleben , Paul Sorajja , Gilbert Tang , et al Added: 10 months ago
Severe tricuspid regurgitation is an urgent global healthcare challenge, affecting over 70 million individuals worldwide. The associated adverse outcomes and burdensome symptoms demand effective solutions. While surgical intervention and medical therapy have been the traditional approaches, a new era has dawned with transcatheter repair emerging as a game-changing option. In this on-demand… View more
