This study investigated the impact of patient-prosthesis mismatch (PPM) on long-term mortality and reoperation rates over a 15-year follow-up in patients who underwent biologic aortic valve replacement.

Surgeons at the West Virginia University Heart and Vascular Institute performed the world’s first combined robotic aortic valve replacement (AVR) and coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) through a single small incision. The groundbreaking procedure, led by Dr.

This article examines the results of the COMMENCE trial, which evaluated the safety and effectiveness of surgical aortic valve replacement using RESILIA tissue valves during a five-year period in patients with native bicuspid aortic valves, comparing outcomes with those of patients with tricuspid aortic valves.

Development of myocardial fibrosis in patients with aortic stenosis precedes left ventricular decompensation and is associated with an adverse long-term prognosis.

Neurohormonal modulation and afterload reduction are essential for treating heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). In HFrEF patients with concomitant moderate aortic stenosis (AS), therapy with transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) may be complementary to guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT).

This study compared outcomes between patients undergoing valve-in-valve transcatheter aortic valve replacement (ViV TAVR) and redo surgical aortic valve replacement (redo SAVR) using a retrospective analysis of institutional databases, which included data from 2013 to 2022 for TAVR and 2011 to 2022 for SAVR.

The EARLY TAVR trial investigators randomly assigned patients with asymptomatic severe aortic stenosis to undergo either early transfemoral transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) or clinical surveillance. The primary end point was a composite of death, stroke, or unplanned hospitalization for cardiovascular causes.

Aortic stenosis is the most prevalent valvular heart condition necessitating surgical intervention, with full sternotomy (FS) traditionally being the standard approach for surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR).

The role of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) for the treatment of aortic stenosis in the pre- and post-lung transplant population is limited. This specific patient population is considered high risk for general anesthesia and for surgical aortic valve replacement.

This study reports on the seven-year outcomes of an international trial, which evaluated a novel bioprosthetic aortic valve prosthesis aimed at improving tissue durability.
