A significant proportion of patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS) undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) have concomitant coronary artery disease (CAD). The best way to treat these patients is contentious.
Background Cardiogenic shock (CS) induced by severe aortic stenosis (AS) is a life-threatening condition with high mortality. Despite advancements in emergency interventions, the optimal treatment approach remains uncertain.
Receiver operator characteristic curve (ROC) analysis indicated that CTFFR were effective in diagnosing impaired myocardial strain, particularly LS.ConclusionThere is a strong correlation between CTFFR, which is a functional measure for assessing coronary artery stenosis, and myocardial strain.
This Viewpoint advocates for prompt aortic valve replacement (rather than clinical surveillance) as the default strategy for patients with asymptomatic severe aortic stenosis.
These patients had a predicted 30-day mortality risk "Results at five years support Evolut's supra-annular, self-expanding TAVR as a safe, effective, and durable alternative to surgery for patients with severe aortic stenosis, regardless of their surgical risk," saidMichael J. Reardon, M.D.,
The increased use of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) for atrial fibrillation (AF) has led to a rise in cases of pulmonary vein stenosis or occlusion (PVS/O) as a complication. While this occurrence was once rare, the growing number of patients undergoing this procedure has made it more prevalent.
BackgroundPatients who underwent surgical repair of supravalvular aortic stenosis (SVAS) are at high risk for postoperative major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE).
82-year-old man with calcified stenosis in left main artery who underwent coronary CTA by PCD CT. Curved multiplanar reformatted images at varying virtual monoenergetic imaging (VMI) levels (40-140 keV) show stenosis at each level. Percent diameter stenosis (PDS) decreased from 92.5% at 40 keV to 53.1% at 140 keV. at 140 keV.
The global, randomized trial ( envisiontrial.com ) will evaluate the safety and effectiveness of Abbott’s minimally invasive Navitor transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) system in approximately 1,500 patients at intermediate or low surgical risk with severe aortic stenosis (narrowing of the aortic valve). fall into this category.
The sociodemographic characteristics of patients undergoing intervention for aortic stenosis (AS) in England, and the impact of COVID-19, is unknown. Background Health inequalities in cardiovascular care have been identified in the UK.
The association of the triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index with intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis (ICAS) and extracranial atherosclerotic stenosis (ECAS) is unclear. This study aimed to investigate the relati.
IntroductionPercutaneous balloon valvuloplasty is the treatment of choice for critical pulmonary valve stenosis (CPS) and pulmonary valve atresia with intact ventricular septum (PA/IVS) if the ventricle has a suitable size. The Z-scores of pulmonary valve diameter, balloon/annulus ratio, number of cusps, and persisting stenosis were analyzed.
IntroductionSince TAVR was approved for lower-risk aortic stenosis (AS) patients, managing post-implantation conduction disturbances has become crucial, especially with self-expanding heart valves (SEV).
This cohort study explores whether a novel artificial intelligence (AI) video-based biomarker for aortic stenosis is associated with development and progression of aortic stenosis.
What is the relationship between aortic valve calcification (AVC) and aortic stenosis (AS) severity in patients with suspected low-flow low-gradient AS?
Until now, patients with aortic stenosis—a narrowing of one of the heart's main valves—have had to wait until symptoms become severe before undergoing valve replacement.
BackgroundOur previous preclinical study demonstrated thatAPOE4targeted replacement mice exhibit more severe cerebral hypoperfusion and cognitive impairment thanAPOE3targeted replacement mice with carotid artery stenosis due to neurovascular dysfunction.
BackgroundThe utility of screening for the degree of common carotid artery (CCA) stenosis as a predictor of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in a general population remains unclear.Methods and ResultsWe studied 4775 Japanese men and women whose CCA was measured using bilateral carotid ultrasonography at baseline (April 1994–August 2001).
BackgroundAortic valve calcium score is associated with hemodynamic severity of aortic stenosis. There was no correlation between MAC calcium score and mitral valve area (r=0.07;P=0.6) or mitral valve gradient (r=−0.03;P=0.8).ConclusionsMAC
This study aimed to investigate the predictive value of RC and lipid ratios alone or in combination for the severity of coronary artery stenosis in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD).MethodsThe CHD patients were categorized into mild stenosis and moderate-to-severe stenosis groups.
This concept should be applied when managing older patients with severe aortic stenosis. Although left ventricular wall hypertrophy is expected in patients with aortic stenosis, it should not be assumed that this is caused only by aortic stenosis.
(MedPage Today) -- Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) yielded clinical benefit when given early in the disease process while patients still had no symptoms or other indication for aortic valve replacement, according to the EARLY TAVR.
The goal of the EARLY TAVR trial was to evaluate transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) compared with clinical surveillance among patients with asymptomatic severe aortic stenosis (stage C aortic stenosis).
ObjectivesRegistered, prospective, multicenter study of the short-term clinical outcomes of a novel transcatheter aortic valve system (Xcor system, Saint Medical Technology, Inc., Nanjing) to evaluate its safety and efficacy.Methods130 high risk patients with symptomatic severe AS from 11 institutions were treated with the novel Xcor system.
The goal of the AVATAR trial was to evaluate aortic valve replacement (AVR) compared with conservative therapy among patients with asymptomatic severe aortic stenosis.
How does diffuse interstitial myocardial fibrosis, as observed on cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR), correlate with clinical outcomes in moderate and asymptomatic severe aortic stenosis (AS)?
(MedPage Today) -- People with transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis (ATTR-CA) on top of aortic stenosis (AS) fared particularly poorly in a large cohort study, which researchers said calls for awareness and timely treatment. Compared with AS alone.
However, the most recurrent cardiac complication in RASopathies is pulmonary valve stenosis (PVS). This has motivated compassionate use of MEK inhibition (MEKi) for rare, but potentially lethal complications such as hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and lymphatic disease.
EchoSolv, the groundbreaking AI platform developed by Echo IQ, is revolutionizing the detection of aortic stenosis. With its unparalleled access to extensive echocardiographic data and AI-driven analysis, EchoSolv empowers clinicians to identify aortic stenosis earlier and with greater accuracy.
With the aging of the population, aortic stenosis affects a growing number of patients, with a prevalence of 12.4% have severe aortic stenosis.1 1 Aortic stenosis is generally well tolerated for a prolonged period of time, among persons who are at least 75 years of age, among whom 3.4%
In this case, we present a symptomatic patient with a Kommerell's diverticulum and a left aberrant subclavian artery complicated by proximal stenosis and poststenotic aneurysm. Imaging techniques and modeling technology allow a more personalized strategy for each patient.
Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV), the most common congenital cardiac anomaly, predisposes individuals to aortic stenosis and regurgitation due to valve degeneration. Abnormal hemodynamics, arterial wall characteristics, and genetic factors contribute to ascending aorta dilatation, potentially leading to severe complications like aortic dissection.
Which genetic and cardiovascular risk factors are aortic stenosis (AS)-specific, and which could be shared between AS and with coronary artery disease (CAD)?
Coronary angiography identified moderate stenosis of the right coronary artery (RCA), without significant flow restriction by invasive pressure wire interrogation. The patient presented with recurrent palpitations and pre-syncope, with no chest pain.
Since the first implementation in 2002 by Alain Cribier, transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has become a standard procedure for high-risk and elderly patients with severe aortic valve stenosis. Recently, the use of TAVR has expanded to relatively younger patients with low to moderate surgical risk.
