Can this device prevent a stroke during a heart valve operation? New research shows potential benefit

Science Daily - Heart Disease

Recently published research shows a medical device may be beneficial for patients who have previously had a stroke and are planning to undergo a transcatheter aortic valve replacement, a type of heart valve operation.

Alternative access in transcatheter aortic valve replacement—an updated focused review

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Aortic Stenosis (AS) is a common condition with an estimated pooled prevalence of all AS in the elderly population at around 12.4%, with that of severe AS estimated to be around 3.4%. In the past, surgical aortic valve replacement was the primary treatment option for severe AS for decades.

Patients Who Received Ross Procedure Demonstrate Excellent Survival Rates after 20 Years

Society of Thoracic Surgeons - Adult Cardiac

Dr. Shettys team followed 252 patients who underwent the Ross procedure, a heart valve replacement operation commonly used to treat younger patients with severe aortic valve disease. Freedom from aortic regurgitation was 95.1%, 92.2%, 87.7%, and 84.5% at 5,10,15 and 20 years respectively, the researchers reported.

Predictors of permanent pacemaker requirement in aortic stenosis patients undergoing self-expanding valve transcatheter aortic valve replacement using the cusp overlap technique

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

IntroductionSince TAVR was approved for lower-risk aortic stenosis (AS) patients, managing post-implantation conduction disturbances has become crucial, especially with self-expanding heart valves (SEV). Forty-seven received SEVs using COL, and 50 with CON techniques.

Unraveling the Mechanisms of Valvular Heart Disease to Identify Medical Therapy Targets: A Scientific Statement From the American Heart Association

Circulation

Severe disease is managed with valve replacement procedures, which entail high health care–related costs and postprocedural morbidity and mortality. Robust ongoing research programs have elucidated many important molecular pathways contributing to primary valvular heart disease.
