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

Circulation: Cardiovascular Interventions, Ahead of Print. 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%). Poverall=0.522; 1 year: 10% versus 2.3%

Multimodality Imaging Evaluation of Diseases of the Pulmonic Valve and Right Ventricular Outflow Tract for the Adult Cardiologist

Circulation: Cardiovascular Imaging

Circulation: Cardiovascular Imaging, Ahead of Print. A multimodality imaging approach using echocardiography, cardiac computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging is essential for a comprehensive evaluation of the anatomy and function of the right ventricular outflow tract, PV, and supravalvular region.

That is, pulmonary artery is transposed over to the right ventricle, and aorta over to the left ventricle, so that normal anatomy is restored. And you can see that the left ventricular muscle is thick, because it is connected to the fetal pulmonary circulation with a higher resistance as the lung is not functional.

90% stenosis of the proximal ramus intermedius, pre procedure TIMI II flow The ramus intermedius is a normal variant on coronary anatomy that arises between the LAD and LCX. In this case, the vessel supplied a portion of the posterior LV circulation. Its course is variable, often supplying the lateral wall of the LV.
