Bioprosthetic Aortic Valve Fracture During Valve-in-valve Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation
Author(s): John Phineas O’Donnell , Crochan J O’Sullivan Added: 3 years ago
The demand for replacing degenerated bioprosthetic valves (BPVs) is steadily rising owing to the increasing burden of heart disease, ageing populations, advances in surgical intervention and limited durability of current-generation surgical BPVs. The issue is exacerbated by the increasing trend of surgical BPV replacement, especially in younger patients who are likely to require future… View more

TCT 22: 1Y Outcomes of Portico™ Valve in Pts with Severe Aortic Stenosis
Added: 1 year ago
TCT 22 - Prof Helge Möllmann joins us to discuss the findings of a study that aimed to evaluate the procedural safety and device performance of Abbott's Portico™ TAVI Valve in patients with severe symptomatic degenerative aortic stenosis. Originally presented at TCT 22, The CONFIDENCE Registry involved over 1000 patients with NYHA Class ≥ II Aortic Stenosis who received transcatheter aortic… View more

Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has become a commonly used and minimally invasive approach for patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS).1,2 In the latest guidelines from the 2017 European Society of Cardiology (ESC)/European Association for Cardio-Thoracic Surgery (EACTS) for the management of valvular heart disease, the following clinical characteristics favour TAVI: Society of… View more

In the context of an ageing population, care for valvular disease is becoming an increasingly important field. A recent large-scale population-based study found the prevalence of valvular disease to be 8.5 % in the 65–74-year-old group and 13.2 % in those over 75 years. 1 While mechanical surgical valves are more durable, bioprosthetic valves are often used as they are less thrombogenic and do… View more

Bioprosthetic Valve Fracture During Valve-in-valve TAVR: Bench to Bedside
Author(s): John T Saxon , Keith B Allen , David J Cohen , et al Added: 3 years ago
Surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) has long been the standard of care for aortic valve replacement. More recently, transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has been established as a safe, effective and less invasive method of valve replacement in patients with severe aortic stenosis who are at intermediate or high risk for complications related to SAVR.1–4 For patients who present with… View more

In patients with heart failure and reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), secondary (functional) mitral regurgitation, in which the mitral valve leaflets and chordae are essentially normal, is the result of functional and structural alterations of the left ventricle (LV). Severe secondary mitral regurgitation (MR) is a predictor of poor clinical outcomes in this patient population due… View more

Approximately 1.8% of the US population has mitral valve disease,1 and an estimated 106,000 surgeries per year are for the treatment of valvular heart disease.2 A total of 210,529 mitral surgeries were performed from 2000 to 2007, averaging approximately 30,000 mitral valve surgeries yearly in the US, accounting for both combined and isolated mitral procedures, with approximately 60% of surgeries… View more

Surgical Approaches to Aortic Valve Replacement and Repair
Author(s): Basel Ramlawi , Mahesh Ramchandani , Michael J Reardon Added: 3 years ago
Symptomatic severe aortic stenosis or insufficiency have no effective medical treatments and carry a dismal prognosis if left untreated. Since the first aortic valve replacement in 1960, hundreds of thousands of lives have been saved and improved by this procedure. Until recently, surgical aortic valve replacement (sAVR) was the only effective therapy for severe aortic valve stenosis. The recent… View more
