The SMART trial raised questions about balloon-expandable valves in small aortic annuli; these new data offer some answers.

LATE-breaking research presented at PCR London Valves 2024 has demonstrated the early safety and effectiveness of the transfemoral J-valve transcatheter heart valve (THV) system, achieving high ...

What is aortic stenosis in children? Aortic stenosis means that your child has a heart valve that is too narrow or is blocked. The aortic valve is 1 of 4 heart valves that keep blood flowing through ...

Rather than the new valve expanding in the aortic annulus, this porcine pericardial valve clips to aortic leaflets, which minimizes stress on cardiac and aortic structures and preserves the ...

Cardiac myxoma is a common benign tumor, however, myxoma extensively distributed on the mitral valve is rare and seldom reported. A patient who presented with exertional dyspnea and chest tightness ...

Early clinical data suggested that HALT is more common in supra-annular than intra-annular transcatheter aortic valves (TAVs). It was postulated that intra-annular TAVs have a larger neo-sinus volume ...

As an example of what the new technique can reveal, Sommerdijk and his team now show how calcium deposits in a form that may lead to calcification of the arteries and aortic valve. Ph.D. candidate ...

Valve has announced the Steam Deck OLED: White Edition. This new version of the handheld PC launches on 18th November, but if you want one, be warned: only a limited number will be available ...

The incision is extended by 1 cm below the level of the pulmonary valve annulus, expanding the right ventricular outflow tract. Valve leaflets or existing pulmonary prostheses are then excised (Figure ...

Transthoracic echocardiography (Figure 1) revealed a tumor-like abnormal hypoechoic area measuring approximately 70 mm × 66 mm × 75 mm located about 1 cm from the aortic valve annulus, extending ...

followed by valve-in-mitral annular calcification transcatheter mitral valve replacement with a balloon-expandable aortic valve platform. Patients with long intercommissural distances and large mitral ...
