The 8-year data may hold value for TAVI—the newest Sapien valve uses the same tissue—but many other variables differ.

Divided into four sections—the aortic root, ascending aorta, aortic arch, and descending aorta—it ensures blood reaches areas like the arms, legs, brain, and abdominal organs. Signs of a problem with ...

In this study we incorporated different types of aortic root motion into fluid-structure interaction (FSI) models representing an ATAA and a healthy aorta to examine their impacts on wall stress and ...

Bioprosthetic valve dysfunction and reoperations/reinterventions are common after aortic valve replacement (AVR) with bioprosthetic valves, leading to cycles of left ...

Real-world low-risk transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) outcomes in the United States have not been assessed comprehensively versus pivotal trials, which is a key component of measuring the ...

mechanical aortic valve, heart constriction device, aortic stenosis/insufficiency. Patients could not have peripheral arterial disease that would impact the feasibility or safety of the study ...

Valve-sparing aortic root replacement procedures necessitate precise correction of leaflet prolapse to ensure optimal valve function and long-term durability. This correction is typically achieved by ...

The Food and Drug Administration has identified a Class I recall of Medtronic Aortic Root Cannulas due to a risk of unexpected loose material in the male luer used in the cannula. The loose material ...

self-expanding Evolut transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) had similar rates of death or disabling stroke at five years compared with those whose valves were replaced through standard ...

This procedure is known as Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) or Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI). Since then, many studies have been conducted across all risk categories ...
