Impact of aortic valve replacement in symptomatic low-risk patients with less than severe aortic stenosis

Open Heart

Objective To evaluate whether transcatheter or surgical aortic valve replacement (TAVR or SAVR) affects clinical and haemodynamic outcomes in symptomatic patients with moderately-severe aortic stenosis (AS). For this post hoc analysis, core laboratory measurements identified patients with symptomatic moderately-severe AS (1.0<aortic

Transcatheter or Surgical Aortic Valve Replacement in Patients with Severe Aortic Stenosis and Small Aortic Annulus: A Randomized Clinical Trial

Circulation

Background:The optimal treatment in patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS) and small aortic annulus (SAA) remains to be determined. Participants were 151 patients with severe AS and SAA (mean diameter &lt;23 mm) were randomized (1:1) to TAVR (n=77) vs SAVR (n=74), The primary outcome was impaired valve hemodynamics (i.e.

Basics of Echocardiography

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

Transcript of the video: Echocardiography is now not restricted to the echocardiographic laboratory. Opening and closing movements of the aortic and mitral valves are visible. The image shows the blue coloured descending aortic flow on colour Doppler. Hence a basic knowledge is needed for all physicians and paramedics.
