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 ...

BACKGROUND: Real-world low-risk transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) outcomes in the United States have not been assessed comprehensively versus pivotal trials, which is a key component of ...

There’s room on the market for new TAVI valves as long as they can compete with the best in practice, a researcher says.

The signs of aortic stenosis on physical exam include a systolic murmur, usually loudest at the right upper sternal border, that peaks late and radiates to the right carotid artery. [10] The ...

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 ...

Pitted against more established balloon-expandable Sapien 3 valves in TAVR for severe aortic stenosis, the Myval devices ...

The treatment consists of replacing the aortic valve with a prosthetic aortic valve. Prosthetic aortic valves can be biological or mechanical, where younger patients often receive mechanical ...

Patients who underwent transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) with a valve designed to treat aortic regurgitation had an overall mortality rate of just 8.1% at one year, well below the trial's ...

A device designed to remove embolic material-fragments of tissue that can be released into the bloodstream during ...

Patients with severe aortic stenosis at low surgical risk who underwent supra-annular, self-expanding Evolut transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) had similar rates of death or disabling ...

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 ...

a condition in which the aortic valve becomes narrowed, preventing blood from flowing properly. During TAVR a prosthetic valve is implanted in the diseased valve between the aorta and the heart ...
