Minimally invasive heart procedures like transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) and MitraClip placement to treat mitral regurgitation can improve quality of life, and even be lifesaving, for ...
The International Consortium for Health Outcomes Measurement (ICHOM) has developed a globally inclusive standard dataset of ...
The tricuspid valve is anatomically complex. It’s often called the “forgotten valve” because of its position in the back of ...
ACURATE neo2 TAVI achieves high success in severe bicuspid aortic stenosis, demonstrating strong 30-day safety and efficacy.
Spinal cord injury (SCI) remains the most serious complication of repairing descending thoracic and thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms, with endovascular ...
As cavitation bubbles collapse, they produce shock waves inducing mechanical softening of the targeted calcified valve leaflet. Therapeutic dose was estimated as the mean acoustic focal energy (J/mm2) ...
The normal aortic ageing process is accompanied by gradual luminal dilatation and reduction of vessel compliance. However, the influence of age on longitudinal aortic dimensions and geometry has not ...
Citation: Mechanical valves offer superior long-term survival for aortic valve replacement patients aged 60, study finds (2025, January 27) retrieved 15 February 2025 from https://medicalxpress ...
Opens in a new tab or window LOS ANGELES -- Survival outcomes favored mechanical valves for isolated surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) for people until age 60, after which a tissue valve ...
A late-breaking study presented today at the 2025 Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS) Annual Meeting reveals that mechanical aortic valve replacements (AVRs) provide significant long-term survival ...
Transcatheter heart valve (THV) underexpansion after transcatheter aortic valve replacement may be associated with worse outcomes. THV expansion can be assessed fluoroscopically using a pigtail for ...
