Early experience with a novel transapical transcatheter aortic valve system in patients with severe aortic stenosis: a prospective, multicenter study

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

All patients were pre-TAVR assessed by transthoracic echocardiography and computed tomography of the aortic valve (AV) and relevant left cardiac and vascular anatomy. Nanjing) to evaluate its safety and efficacy.Methods130 high risk patients with symptomatic severe AS from 11 institutions were treated with the novel Xcor system.

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%

New Data for Medtronic CoreValve/Evolut TAVR Systems Reinforces Excellent Valve Performance

DAIC

The CoreValve and next-generation Evolut TAVR systems are used in TAVR procedures for patients with symptomatic severe aortic stenosis (AS), which are less invasive and typically result in a quicker recovery time than open heart surgery.i The natural history and rate of progression of aortic stenosis.

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.

Basics of Echocardiography

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

Tracing in the lower part is tissue Doppler imaging from the medial mitral annulus. 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. The images shown so far were from transthoracic echocardiography.
