Bicuspidaortic valve (BAV), the most common congenital cardiac anomaly, predisposes individuals to aortic stenosis and regurgitation due to valve degeneration.
Background Bicuspidaortic valve (BAV) is the most common congenital heart defect in adults, often leading to complications such as thoracic aortic aneurysms and aortic stenosis. While BAV is frequently associated with 22q11.2 This study is aimed to assess the role of rare 22q11.2 region (18–24 Mb).
Bicuspidaortic valve (BAV) is a common congenital heart condition that can lead to some valve-related complications, such as aortic stenosis and/or regurgitation, and is often associated with aortic root dilation.
Webinar Latin Heart Rounds: Rounds on a Patient with Prosthetic Aortic Endocarditis cgolden Thu, 04/25/2024 - 14:46 May 31, 2024 Webinar Link: Register for Free An international panel of experts will provide up-to-date insight on the management of patients with prosthetic aortic endocarditis.
SAVR after TAVR Surgical aortic valve replacement after prior TAVR is the fastest-growing cardiac surgery procedure in the U.S. The analysis found that mitral replacement increases the risk of operative mortality and other adverse outcomes compared to mitral repair. Adding CABG also increased these risks uniformly.
Pathogeneses include connective tissue disorders, smooth muscle contraction disorders, and congenital heart disease, including bicuspidaortic valve, among others. The American Heart Association has published guidelines for diagnosis and management of thoracic aortic disease.
Attendees can join with their peers and participate in sessions on structural heart disease, congenital heart disease, guidelines and trials, AI/Machine learning, technical aspects of cardiac CT, coronary artery disease, vascular heart disease, debates and games and early career topics. for all attendees.
STS leveraged contemporary national data from the STS Adult Cardiac Surgery Database between July 2017 and December 2023 to analyze outcomes of 32,938 patients that underwent multi-valve surgery involving replacement of the aortic valve, plus replacement or repair of the mitral valve, with and without concomitant coronary artery bypass grafting.
The two-day event included lectures, case-based presentations, and breakout sessions focused on mastering modern-day valve surgery, including open and transcatheter procedures for aortic, mitral, and tricuspid valves.
Echocardiograms using the robotic arm resulted in the same diagnosis as conventional in-person echocardiography in 98% of cases (papillary muscle level obstruction was missed in one case).
However, in rare cases, alternative routes must be used to overcome anatomical challenges (congenital or acquired). A retrograde approach via the femoral artery and by subsequently passing the aortic and mitral valve is virtually impossible using conventional manually operated catheters due to the need of multiple curves.
This is the aortic valve in closed position and mitral valve also appears to be closed in position. From the images you do not know whether the mitral valve is really fully closed or almost about to be closed. You can also see the aortic override. Separation between the attachments of the aortic and mitral valve.
In as early as 1958, the first heart surgery -a closed mitral commissurotomy on a 30-year-old man with rheumatic mitral stenosis- was performed by Professor Ton That Tung, setting the stage for many decades of cardiac surgical endeavours to come. Only 7 centers are able to perform neonatal and high-risk congenital heart surgery.
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.

The conference theme is “Goldilocks: Toward the Optimal Mitral Valve,” and the organizers aim to bring together distinguished experts from around the world to share their knowledge and engage in academic discussions on the latest trends in treatments related to aortic valve disease.
Tracing in the lower part is tissue Doppler imaging from the medial mitral annulus. This becomes more difficult in complex congenital heart diseases where the cardiac chamber positions and size may vary. Opening and closing movements of the aortic and mitral valves are visible.
For example, we have a lot of meaningful data on outcomes from CABG procedures and transcatheter aortic valve replacement in the short term. The Database has four components—Adult Cardiac, General Thoracic, Congenital Heart Surgery, and the Interagency Registry for Mechanically Assisted Circulatory Support (Intermacs) Database.
We are blessed with 4 heart valves – 2 on the left side which are known as the mitral and aortic valves and 2 on the right side – the tricuspid and pulmonary valves.
1, 2024 — Researchers at UTHealth Houston have identified genetic variants linked to a rare form of bicuspidaortic valve disease that affects young adults and can lead to dangerous and potentially life-threatening aortic complications. tim.hodson Wed, 09/04/2024 - 15:53 Sept.
Introduction Bicuspidaortic valve (BAV) is the most common congenital heart disease with an increased risk of infective endocarditis (IE). The aim of this study was to compare patients with tricuspid aortic valve (TAV) IE and BAV-IE in terms of characteristics, management and prognosis. Median follow-up was 67.2 [IQR:
While the first one may radiate to the axilla and base, but usually not into the neck, it does reflect both aortic outflow obstruction and mitral regurgitation in patients with a large gradient. On the other hand, the murmur in valvular aortic stenosis does not change substantially or decreases slightly following the Valsalva maneuver.
Presenters will explain internationally accepted nomenclature and classification by its main developer, as well as comment on the pros and cons and short and mid/long-term outcomes of SAVR and TAVR in this challenging population.
ObjectivesThe bicuspidaortic valve (BAV) is the most common congenital heart defect. Aortopathy was registered in 76% of patients on echo and 78% on CMR; 38% of patients had severe aortic dilatation on echo and 54% on CMR (p = 0.003). 54% of patients had BAV insufficiency on echo and 70% on echo CMR. mmHg vs. 23, IQR 15.5–35.0 mmHg;
severe mitral stenosis, pulmonary hypertension, or cardiomyopathy), prolonged labor could strain the heart excessively, potentially leading to decompensation, heart failure, or arrhythmias. repaired congenital defects) might safely attempt vaginal delivery with careful monitoring and a low threshold for intervention.
