Aortic dissection in pediatrics is an extremely rare condition, which is generally related to predisposing factors such as connective tissue disorders, congenital heart disease and systemic arterial hypertensi.
SAVR after TAVR Surgical aortic valve replacement after prior TAVR is the fastest-growing cardiac surgery procedure in the U.S. With over 95% of adult and congenital cardiac surgery procedures and a majority of lung cancer and esophageal cancer surgery in the U.S., More than 5,500 multi-valve procedures were performed in the U.S.
Right aortic arch with isolation of left brachiocephalic artery is a rare congenitalaortic arch anomaly. Herein, we reported a case of this rare anomaly with ventricular septal defect in a 9-month-old infant.
Congenital Quadricuspid Aortic Valve (QAV) malformation is a relatively rare cardiac valve malformation, especially with abnormal coronary opening and severe stenosis of Coronary Artery Disease (CAD). The pati.
Background Aortic coarctation (CoA) is a congenital anomaly leading to upper-body hypertension and lower-body hypotension. This study evaluated the use of artificial intelligence-based pulse wave analysis (AI-PWA) to assess central aortic blood pressure (CABP) and related parameters in post-treatment CoA patients. ±14.4
