To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study specifically comparing periprocedural and in ‑hospital mortality in 2 groups of patients: those who underwent rescue

We found out that severe aortic regurgitation (AR) and a residual PG less than 35 mm Hg at late follow ‑up were stronger risk factors for cardiac surgery than moderate AR and a

Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) showed bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) with severe eccentric regurgitation jet along anterior mitral leaflet (Fig. 1A), aneurysm of the root

It has been shown that new-generation valves reduced the rates of paravalvular leak (PVL), annular rupture and second valve implantation compared with the early-generation ones

1) Sustained hemodynamic changes are observed as peak velocity and transvalvular gradient dif- ferences between discharge and follow-up within 1 year after the procedure; 2) BAV

However, according to an European survey, approximately 30% of those pa- tients with severe aortic stenosis requiring aortic valve replacement (AVR) do not currently receive

Transcatheter aortic valve implantation for the treatment of severe symptomatic aor- tic stenosis in patients at very high or prohibitive surgical risk:.. Acute and late outcomes of

Prosthetic aortic valve replacement (AVR) dra- matically reduces this left ventricular pressure overload immediately after surgery, determining a marked left ventricular mass
