Aortic Valve
This single-center retrospective study evaluated 61 patients who underwent cardiac surgery after prior transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) during a 10-year period at a high-volume academic center. Cardiac surgery following TAVR was uncommon, accounting for...
This week on The Beat, CTSNet Editor-in-Chief Joel Dunning spoke with CTSNet Senior Editor—Global Emily Farkas, Associate Director of Global Health in Surgery at the Indiana University School of Medicine,...
The authors present a 75-year-old woman with dyspnea on exertion. She was diagnosed with an aortic valve stenosis and moderate-to-severe mitral valve regurgitation due to a localized A2 prolapse. This...
This cardiac session features leading surgeon Mario Castillo-Sang presenting on intraoperative pearls and pitfalls at the International Society for Minimally Invasive Cardiothoracic Surgery Annual Scientific Meeting 2026. CTSNet Senior Editor—Cardiac...
This week on The Beat, CTSNet Editor-in-Chief Joel Dunning spoke with Dr. Aamir Amin, a cardiothoracic surgery resident at Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust, UK, about humanoid robots and artificial...
Left ventricular outflow tract obstruction (LVOTO) caused by subaortic membrane (SAM) can result in increased left ventricle (LV) systolic pressure and wall stress and LV hypertrophy. This video presents the...
In this study, the authors aimed to analyze the one-year outcome after aortic valve (AV) repair versus surgical AV replacement (SAVR) in patients with aortic regurgitation (AR) using data from...
A recent study by Jad Malas et al. comparing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) and surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) in patients less than 60 years of age was presented...
This study addressed midterm outcomes with the hemispherical aortic annuloplasty reconstructive technology (HAART) ring used for aortic valve repair (AVr). Seventy-one patients had AVr using the HAART ring—53 had a...
This video is part of CTSNet’s 2023 Innovation Video Competition. Watch all entries into the competition, including the winning videos. Aortic valve repair procedures can be technically challenging and there...
In this session from the 2023 London Core Review Cardiothoracic Surgery Course, Professor Tirone David spoke on the development of aortic valve sparing operations over the last twenty-five years. If...
The study of acute aortic syndromes, particularly the study of aortic mechanics, is quite challenging due to the dynamic nature of the aorta, complex and variable geometry, and the presence...
The incidence, predictors, and prognostic impact of rehospitalization following transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has not been widely investigated and reported. This information is especially missing based on real-world practice...
