Aortic valve replacement via full sternotomy is the gold standard surgical therapy for patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS) and insufficiency.1 This procedure has proved to be reliable, reproducible, relieves symptoms and improves prognosis of the patients. Degenerative AS is the most frequently acquired valve disease in the elderly population. In the current era, aortic valve surgery is the… 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

Alternate Access for TAVI: Stay Clear of the Chest
Author(s): Pavel Overtchouk , Thomas Modine Added: 3 years ago
This article aims to provide an updated comparative review, addressing the respective strengths and weaknesses of different alternative transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) approaches. The transfemoral (TF) access is favoured by international guidelines on TAVI because of its reported superiority to the transthoracic approach.1–3 In spite of the progress in miniaturisation of new… View more

Expanding Vascular Access Options in TAVI
Author(s): Dr Won-Keun Kim Start date: Oct 23, 2018
Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has emerged to be a viable treatment option for patients suffering from Severe Aortic Stenosis. The transfemoral approach is the most common access route for TAVI and associated with most favourable clinical outcomes. However, with a population with increasingly complex vasculature, the incidence of vascular complications in TAVI remains high… View more

Over the past nine years, since the first transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) by Cribier et al.1 in France in 2002, this new technique has enthralled cardiologists all over the world. With the deployment of TAVI – about 40,000 procedures have been carried out worldwide so far – cardiologists intruded into the previously unshared domain of surgical aortic valve replacement. Albeit… View more
