Aortic Valve

September 8, 2023
This paper explores the application of a novel aortic valve visualization and pressurization device to inspect the valve under physiological conditions following aortic repair.

While much research is ongoing regarding the safety of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) compared to surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) after prior coronary artery bypass (CABG), there is limited data on morbidity outcomes and discharge locations among these two procedures.

Recently, NICE released guidance from the British regulatory body limiting the Ozaki operation to research until further review, which is scheduled in three calendar years. The overarching concern appears to be the durability of the autoprosthesis. NICE guidelines have the strongest influence in healthcare in the United Kingdom and often abroad.

In forty-eight consecutive patients undergoing explants of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) at a single center between 2011 and 2021, at a median of 2.3 years after TAVR, the most common indications for surgery were nonstructural valve dysfunction (patient-prosthesis mismatch or paravalvular leak) in 35 percent, structural valve deterior

Recently, a minimal approach to transcatheter valve replacement using only local anesthesia has been used to promote a faster procedure and recovery time. With this lack of general anesthesia, however, comes more anxiety and the possibility of pain for patients.

Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is now a standard procedure for the treatment of symptomatic aortic valve stenosis in many patients.

A study found that patients who underwent a second TAVR procedure were no more likely to experience adverse outcomes than those who have only undergone one TAVR.

A forty-six-year-old male with a history of bicuspid aortic valve and failed previous transcatheter aortic valve replacement for symptomatic aortic stenosis underwent surgical explantation of the failed transcatheter aortic valve followed by the Ross procedure using a pulmonary autograft-in-conduit technique with a 30 mm Gelweave graft and reconstruction with a 29 mm pulmonary homograft.
