Can a heart valve be replaced without open heart surgery? Yes. In fact, TAVI could be an option for patients with aortic stenosis who are experiencing symptoms.5 With transcatheter aortic valve replacement, you don't need to have your chest opened. This less invasive option can be an option...
主动脉瓣狭窄(aortic stenosis,AS)主要是由退行性病变、先天性病变、 风湿性病变导致的瓣膜进行性狭窄的常见心脏瓣膜病,临床表现为主窄三联征:心绞痛、晕厥、呼吸困难。目前尚无预防AS发生及延缓病情进展的有效药物,唯一有效的治疗是主动脉...
Importance Heart failure (HF) and aortic stenosis (AS) frequently coexist, presenting a complex clinical challenge due to their intertwined pathophysiology and associated high morbidity and mortality. Despite numerous advancements in transcatheter and surgical aortic valve replacement (AVR),...
Heart valve replacement is a surgical procedure during which surgeons remove a damaged valve from the heart and substitute a healthy one. Purpose Four valves direct blood to and from the body through the heart: the aortic valve, the pulmonic valve, the tricuspid valve, and the mitral valve. ...
Findings from the TAVR UNLOAD study found limited benefits of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) in the treatment of heart failure (HF) with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) and moderate aortic stenosis (AS).
