Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a complex and progressive disorder characterised by elevated pulmonary artery pressure. Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that has revolutionised the treatment of severe aortic stenosis (AS).

Purpose In the palliated single ventricle anomalies, a considerable amount of the aortic flow may be absorbed by the systemic-pulmonary collateral flow (SPCF), which can be noninvasively assessed by cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR). The patient's higher age and a higher antegrade pulmonary flow were associated with a lower SPCF %PV.

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. This eccentricity of closure of the aortic valve leaflets, can be calculated using what is known as eccentricity index.

However, retrograde arterial perfusion from the femoral artery can increase left ventricular (LV) afterload, resulting in LV distention which may hamper myocardial recovery and worsen pulmonary congestion. An intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) can mitigate LV afterload, and Impella (Abiomed, Danvers, MA) can directly unload LV pressure.
