Fenestrated-Branched Endovascular Aortic Repair, Mortality and PCI, Lp(a) and Calcific Aortic Stenosis Progression

American College of Cardiology

In this week’s View, Dr. Eagle looks at a prospective multicenter cohort study that examined early and late aortic-related mortality and rupture after fenestrated-branched endovascular aortic repair of thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms.

Echocardiographic evaluation in aortic regurgitation

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

The large aortic regurgitation jet can be seen as a mosaic jet in the left ventricular outflow tract anterior to the anterior mitral leaflet. A portion of the thickened aortic valve can be seen between the aorta and left ventricle. Thickening of both aortic and mitral leaflets indicate the possible etiology as rheumatic.

Minimally Invasive Options For High-Risk Heart Surgery

MIBHS

Aortic Valve Replacement (AVR): AVR is a minimally invasive procedure in which the surgeon makes a small incision and allows the heart to continue to beat during the entire procedure. Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR): TAVR is performed for patients with severe cases of aortic stenosis, which is the thickening of the aortic valve.

Matrisome and Immune Pathways Contribute to Extreme Vascular Outcomes in Williams–Beuren Syndrome

Journal of the American Heart Association

BackgroundSupravalvar aortic stenosis (SVAS) is a characteristic feature of Williams–Beuren syndrome (WBS). Finally, we evaluated overlap between the genes/pathways identified here and those ascertained through larger aortic disease/trait genome‐wide association studies.

Abstract 114: “Failing” DAPT? Think Again

Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology

However, CTA head and neck 4 days later demonstrated 90 percent stenosis of the mid left V2 at the C3‐4 level and a 75‐90 percent stenosis of the left mid V2 segment at the C5‐6 level (hard and soft plaque in these areas). He also had moderate stenosis of the right V4 segment.

Case Report: Kommerell's diverticulum and left aberrant subclavian artery stenosis hybrid treatment with branched aortic stent-graft

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

In this case, we present a symptomatic patient with a Kommerell's diverticulum and a left aberrant subclavian artery complicated by proximal stenosis and poststenotic aneurysm.
