Eccentricity Index in Bicuspid Aortic Valve

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

Transcript of the video: Closure line of aortic valve on M-Mode echocardiogram, is seen as central line, while in bicuspid aortic valve, it is an eccentric closure, nearer to one of the walls of the aorta. That is an important feature of bicuspid aortic valve on M-Mode echocardiogram. This is a closure line.

Brachiocephalic Artery Access for Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is increasing in popularity for symptomatic severe aortic stenosis. Transfemoral arterial route is the most commonly used approach for TAVR, also known as TAVI or transcatheter aortic valve implantation. JACC: Asia. May 14, 2024. Epublished DOI: 10.1016/j.jacasi.2024.03.006

Impact of untreated CAD on TAVR outcomes

Cardiology Update

The optimal management of concomitant chronic obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) in transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) recipients remains a debated topic. While some advocate for pre-TAVR percutaneous coronary intervention, others adopt an expectant approach.

Echocardiogram in Rheumatic Mitral and Aortic Regurgitation

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

You can see the reverse flow into the left ventricle from the aorta, with the aortic valve in closed position. Beacuse, as the aortic valve is closed, and the regurgitant jet is coming in, and left ventricular diastolic pressures are lower than the aortic pressures. Here it is the AR jet.

Mitral and Aortic Regurgitation on Colour Doppler Echo

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

Here, this is the forward flow through the mitral valve in diastole in red. This is reverse flow from the aortic valve, that is aortic regurgitation jet. That is, flow away from the transducer is depicted as blue. Flow towards the transducer is depicted as red. That also occurs in diastole.

Echocardiographic evaluation in aortic regurgitation

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

Mitral valve leaflets seen in open position between the left ventricle and left atrium are thickened. 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.

Norwood Procedure for Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

Transcript of video: Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome is a very severe form of congenital heart disease, in which, the left ventricle, aorta and mitral and aortic valves are hypoplastic and valves may be atretic as well. It has a very poor survival. This is diagrammatic representation of hypoplastic left heart syndrome.
