Balloon mitral valvotomy offers significant short-term hemodynamic improvement, but needs to be properly compared with surgical treatment of mitral stenosis. Although aortic valve replacement with homografts and pulmonary autografts yields excellent results, enthusiasm for the stentless porcine xenograft is ...
Warnings:Observation of the pacing lead throughout the procedure is essential to avoid the potential risk of pacing lead perforation. There may be an increased risk of stroke in transcatheter aortic valve replacement procedures, as compared to balloon aortic valvuloplasty or other standard treatments in...
Mentioning the ‘plague’ of rheumatic heart disease for the population of China there is a significant percentage of patients affected by rheumatic heart valve problems requiring heart valve surgery. Hardly anyone knows this, and little is talked about this. 说到风湿性心脏病,中国患者可谓是饱受“折...

Percutaneous mitral balloon commissurotomy (PMBC) is a catheter-based procedure in which a balloon is inflated across the obstructed and stenotic valve to split the fused commissures and increase the valve area. From: Practical Cardiology, 2018 ...
There's also a version ofangioplastythat uses a laser, instead of a balloon, to eliminate the plaque that clogs your arteries. Minimally invasive heart surgery.This is a form of bypass surgery that may be less risky for you than the traditional open-chest method. Your surgeon puts instruments...
Heart valve disease You have four heart valves that sit at the exit of each of your four heart chambers: the pulmonary valve, aortic valve, mitral valve, and tricuspid valve. They keep your blood flowing in the right direction as your heart beats. ...
In recent years, advancements in minimally invasive surgery and interventional cardiology have encouraged some investigators to pursue percutaneous replacement of the aortic heart valve. Percutaneous Valve Technologies (“PVT”) of Fort Lee, N.J., has developed a balloon-expandable stent integrated with...
Expandable heart valves for minimally invasive valve replacement surgeries are disclosed. The valves are rolled into a first, contracted configuration for minimally invasive deliver
Disclosed prosthetic valves can comprise a sewing ring configured to secure the valve to an implantation site. Some disclosed valves comprise a resiliently collapsible frame having
