Transcatheter treatment of pure aortic regurgitation

Nature Reviews - Cardiology

Nature Reviews Cardiology, Published online: 27 June 2024; doi:10.1038/s41569-024-01059-1 Preliminary experience with the use of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) to treat non-calcific aortic regurgitation has raised concerns about the short-term effectiveness of TAVI in this setting.

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. Transcatheter heart valve (THV) sizing was performed based on CCTA measurements and compared with 3D whole-heart MRI measurements.

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% 2.44];P=0.035).

A Beginner’s Guide to the Heart’s Structure

MIBHS

The Ventricles are on the bottom of the heart and are often considered its main chambers, which collect blood from the left atrium and expel it toward the lungs. Heart Valves Blood flows through the heart’s structure in one direction from one chamber to the next through a series of valves.
