Q: My doctor heard a new heart murmur and suspected I have a narrowed valve due to aortic stenosis. I feel fine. Why did this ...

NEW research has shown that the ACURATE neo2 transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) system demonstrates favourable clinical outcomes and valve performance at 30 days in patients with severe ...

Valve‐in‐valve transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is a recognized alternative for treating the structural valve deterioration of bioprosthetic valves. Recent guidelines and trials have ...

Echocardiography is also indicated in asymptomatic patients with a significant systolic murmur. Calcific aortic ... valve is tricuspid in more than 90% of the cases. Malformed calcified bicuspid ...

Aortic measurements were performed by echocardiography which was consistently performed ... which need to be determined. Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is associated with aortic dilatation. Patterns of ...

On detailed evaluation which included detailed physical examination, echocardiography and CT aortogram, it was revealed that he had severe calcific bicuspid aortic valve stenosis and a dilated ...

For patients after cardiac surgery with metal implantation or those with financial constraints, MRI may not be as widely available with easily continuous monitoring as echocardiography or CTA.

Additionally, diagnosis of bicuspid aortic valve was based on echocardiography which may be difficult in case of severe calcification. Finally, we decided to enrol only participants with at least 2 ...

Bicuspid aortic valve disease occurs when individuals are born with a deformed valve, which, unlike the normal heart valve, starts to calcify at an unusually early age. Normally, heart valve ...

Recently developed valve ... echocardiography has been used during surgery to define the degree of wall stress and the mechanical characteristics of the aneurysmal aorta, including aortic ...
