TAVR Found Non-Inferior to SAVR for Low-Risk Patients

DAIC

All patients enrolled in the trial were eligible for either TAVR or SAVR and had similar characteristics in terms of the severity of aortic stenosis (narrowing of the valve which makes it harder for blood to flow efficiently) and a similar balance of risks and benefits expected with either type of procedure.

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. So this is a premature beat. is the normal range.

Outcomes Following Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement for Aortic Stenosis in Patients With Type 0 Bicuspid, Type 1 Bicuspid, and Tricuspid Aortic Valves

Circulation: Cardiovascular Interventions

BACKGROUND:Data concerning the outcomes of transcatheter aortic valve replacement in type 0 bicuspid aortic stenosis (AS) are scarce. Poverall=0.099) and all stroke (30 days: 1.0% Ascending aortic diameter was the single predictor of 1-year mortality in type 0 bicuspid patients (hazard ratio, 1.59 [95% CI, 1.03–2.44];P=0.035).
