We should also emphasize that implantation of a small prosthesis does not necessarily result in PPM, and can be perfectly adequate in a patient with small body size. In conclusion, PPM is a ...

Although the STS score is adapted to surgical aortic valve replacement both this score ... discussions remain mandatory for provision of a prosthesis for a particular patient from the manufacturer.

LOS ANGELES -- Survival outcomes favored mechanical valves for isolated surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) for people until age 60, after which a tissue valve may start to have an advantage ...

Recent research from Karl Landsteiner University of Health Sciences (KL Krems) provides important new insights into how ...

can occur as a complication of aortic valve endocarditis and is more common on a prosthetic aortic valve. This is diagnosed predominantly on transesophageal echocardiography. The ECG can show an ...

and small aortic annulus. According to further trial findings, the Evolut TAVR showed a fivefold reduction in prosthetic valve thrombosis and a ninefold decrease in haemodynamic structural valve ...

and was replaced with a 3M Starr–Edwards prosthesis. The pulmonary artery was dilated, with marked bulging of the sinuses. The aortic valve was normal and did not leak during the bypass.

Their ‘supra-annular sizing’ algorithm 2 has led to more stable valve deployment and optimized interaction between the prosthesis and the aortic root. “With this new sizing algorithm ...

There were no differences at 2 years between the groups for the individual endpoints of mortality, cardiovascular mortality, heart failure rehospitalization, or aortic ... of what valve platform they ...

One-year Results Highlights: DurAVR ® THV demonstrated a favorable hemodynamic profile sustained to one-year, with an Effective Orifice Area (EOA) of 2.1 + 0.2 cm 2, a Mean Pressure Gradient (MPG) of ...

In patients with aortic stenosis and a small aortic annulus ... the following relative to SAPIEN TAVR: five times less prosthetic valve thrombosis and nine times less hemodynamic structural ...
