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).

Transcatheter versus surgical valve replacement in patients with bicuspid aortic valves: an updated meta-analysis

The British Journal of Cardiology

Patients with bicuspid aortic valves (BAV) are predisposed to the development of aortic stenosis. No significant differences were seen with other explored outcomes, including 30-day/mid-term mortality, stroke, acute kidney injury, major vascular complications, paravalvular leak, and conduction abnormalities. to 4.58, p=0.04).

Abstract TP274: Challenging the Guidelines or Merely an Observation on Transthoracic Echocardiography

Stroke Journal

Stroke, Volume 55, Issue Suppl_1 , Page ATP274-ATP274, February 1, 2024. Introduction:Accurate detection of left atrial appendage (LAA) clot is critical in patients before Balloon Mitral Valvotomy (BMV). There is an elevated risk of thrombus formation and ischemic stroke in Rheumatic Heart Disease (RHD).

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.

New Data for Medtronic CoreValve/Evolut TAVR Systems Reinforces Excellent Valve Performance

DAIC

The CoreValve and next-generation Evolut TAVR systems are used in TAVR procedures for patients with symptomatic severe aortic stenosis (AS), which are less invasive and typically result in a quicker recovery time than open heart surgery.i The natural history and rate of progression of aortic stenosis.
