How Does Transcathter Aortic Valve Replacement Contribute to Medical Care for ElderlyBackground: The use of short-duration dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) remains controversial. To investigate efficacy and safety of short-duration DAPT, we performed a detailed comparison of intra-stent conditions by ...
What is a functionally bicuspid aortic valve? How do gap junctions work in the heart? What heart chamber pushes blood through the aortic semilunar valve? Which heart valve is also known as the bicuspid valve? What is true of the mitral and tricuspid heart valves?
Feasibility of transcatheter aortic valve implantation without balloon pre-dilation: a pilot study. The purpose of this pilot study was to evaluate the feasibility and safety of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) without balloon pre-dilation. ......
Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) is increasingly being used in patients with severe aortic stenosis who are not candidates for surgery. ECG-gated CT angiography (CTA) plays an important role in the preoperative planning for these devices. As the number of patients undergoing these proce...
The aortic valve is a structure that functions to regulate blood flow out of the left ventricle. Normally, the aortic valve is made up of three flaps of skin. However, some people are born with a bicuspid aortic valve, which means their aortic valve contains only two flaps of skin, not ...
To the Editor Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is receiving great concern as a novel therapeutic tool for the aortic insufficiency during durable left ventricular assist device (LVAD) supports. However, the efficacy and safety of this procedure remain unknown. Rao and colleagues reported ...

The surgical steps towards the reimplantation technique are described below as the following: (I) Aortic valve exposure and assessment; (II) Root preparation and dissection; (III) Graft sizing; (IV) Proximal suture line; (V) Graft preparation and fixation; (VI) Valve reimplantation; (VII) Va...
Introduction In transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI), assessment of aortic valve calcification is not as standardized as aortic annulus measurement. Aortic valve calcification is important for stable anchoring of the prosthesis to the aortic annulus. However, excessive aortic valve calcification ...
