The feasibility of relaxation-enhanced angiography without contrast and triggering for preprocedural planning of transcatheter aortic valve implantation

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Background Cardiovascular MRI is advantageous in transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) planning. Methods Thirty patients with severe aortic stenosis were prospectively enrolled. Both modalities showed similar aortic valve morphology and semi-quantitative valve calcification (all, p 's > 0.05).

What Is TAVR? A Closer Look at Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement

AMS Cardiology

If you’ve been diagnosed with aortic stenosis, you might have come across the term TAVR. Understanding Aortic Stenosis The aortic valve regulates blood flow from your heart’s main pumping chamber to the rest of your body. In aortic stenosis, the valve leaflets stiffen and narrow, restricting blood flow.

Abbott Announces FDA Approval of First-of-its-kind Device to Repair Leaky Tricuspid Heart Valve, TriClip

DAIC

TriClip leverages the same clip-based technology as Abbott's leading MitraClip device – which has treated more than 200,000 people with leaky mitral valves (mitral regurgitation) – but was specifically designed to treat the tricuspid valve's complex anatomy.

Outcomes Following Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement for Aortic Stenosis in Patients With Type 0 Bicuspid, Type 1 Bicuspid, and Tricuspid Aortic Valves

Circulation: Cardiovascular Interventions

BACKGROUND:Data concerning the outcomes of transcatheter aortic valve replacement in type 0 bicuspid aortic stenosis (AS) are scarce. Self-expanding transcatheter heart valves were used in the majority of patients (n=1160; 91.4%). In the matched population, differences in mortality (30 days: 4.2%

Basics of Echocardiography

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

A good knowledge of the anatomy of the heart is needed for interpretation of images from each view. Planimetry of mitral valve area can be obtained in parasternal short axis view in case of mitral stenosis. Parasternal views are often obtained first, followed by apical, subcostal, and suprasternal.
