Aim This study aimed to systematically review and analyse the existing evidence on outcomes of emergency transcatheter aortic valve implantation (eTAVI) and emergency balloon aortic valvuloplasty ...

The four heart valves (tricuspid, pulmonary, mitral and aortic) open and close at just the right moment to keep the blood moving in the proper direction through the heart. It is helpful to visualize ...

the patient underwent routine aortic valve replacement surgery, confirming a BAV with leaflet thickening, severe aortic regurgitation no calcification, no adhesion, and aortic ring dilatation. The ...

Aortic stenosis is when the aortic heart valves narrow, usually owing to calcification. This makes it harder for the ticker to pump the claret. Aortic stenosis has no cure and can only be ...

The aortic valve, influenced by factors such as endothelial dysfunction, inflammation, oxidative stress, lipid metabolism disorders, calcium deposition, and extracellular matrix remodeling, undergoes ...

Bicuspid aortic valve disease, where the aortic valve has two leaflets instead of the normal three, is the most common congenital heart defect, affecting up to 2% of the population.

AVCS, aortic valve calcium score; PPM, permanent pacemaker ... including the His bundle and left bundle branch. Excessive calcification in these regions may cause mechanical compression, leading to ...

In the presence of the usual extensive calcification or fibrosis ... and prolonged cardioplegia and the availability of an aortic-valve prosthesis have led to a reassessment of the methods ...
