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. Ascending aortic diameter was the single predictor of 1-year mortality in type 0 bicuspid patients (hazard ratio, 1.59 [95% CI, 1.03–2.44];P=0.035). Poverall=0.522; 1 year: 10% versus 2.3%

Capstan’s Robotic MR/TR Frontier Funding

CardiacWire

Focusing on mitral and tricuspid valve diseases , Capstans treatment combines transcatheter implantation of a folded valve replacement with its X-ray and ultrasound-guided robot to align the low-profile implant with the beating heart valve. The post Capstans Robotic MR/TR Frontier Funding appeared first on Cardiac Wire.

MIBHS

The tricuspid valve is the right atrioventricular valve. The aortic semilunar valve is between the left ventricle and the aorta. Like the heart chambers, there are four heart valves between each of the chambers. The bicuspid or mitral valve is the left atrioventricular valve is.

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. Opening and closing movements of the aortic and mitral valves are visible. Apical four chamber view shows all four cardiac chambers, mitral and tricuspid valves, and the septa. Apical four chamber view is illustrated here.
