Impact of Transjugular Intracardiac Echocardiography-Guided Self-Expandable Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation on Reduction of Conduction Disturbances

Circulation: Cardiovascular Interventions

Circulation: Cardiovascular Interventions, Ahead of Print. BACKGROUND:A high permanent pacemaker implantation (PPI) risk remains a concern of self-expandable transcatheter aortic valve implantation, despite the continued improvements in implantation methodology. There were no group differences in 30-day all-cause mortality (1.4%

AVCAPIR: A Novel Procalcific PIWI-Interacting RNA in Calcific Aortic Valve Disease

Circulation

Circulation, Ahead of Print. BACKGROUND:Calcification of the aortic valve leads to increased leaflet stiffness and consequently results in the development of calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD). However, the underlying molecular and cellular mechanisms of calcification remain unclear.

Abstract 4145296: Aortic Valve Hemodynamics in Liver Cirrhosis

Circulation

Circulation, Volume 150, Issue Suppl_1 , Page A4145296-A4145296, November 12, 2024. Aortic valve stenosis (AS) is often a contraindication to liver transplantation (LT). Aortic valve peak velocity (AVVmax) increased steadily as patients neared transplant and dropped significantly immediately after transplantation (Figure 1A).

Abstract 4138340: Cav-1/FGF2 Axis Mediates Endothelial-Mesenchymal Transition Promoting Aortic Valve Calcification

Circulation

Circulation, Volume 150, Issue Suppl_1 , Page A4138340-A4138340, November 12, 2024. Background:Calcific Aortic Valve Disease is a common cardiac condition with no effective medication available; severe cases require surgery. Immunohistochemical staining showed high expression of Cav-1 in calcified aortic valves.

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=0.765; 1 year: 1.4%
