Objective To determine the cost-effectiveness of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) compared with surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) in a high-risk aortic stenosis (AS) population.

In EARLY TAVR, intervention improved outcomes over waiting in patients with class II or no indications for AVR consideration.

A medical patient from Peterborough is among the first to receive a pioneering treatment for heart valve disease.

Patients received a new treatment for heart valve disease, which did not require riskier open-heart surgery or travel to London. Five people from Cambridgeshire, Essex, Hertfordshire, Peterborough and ...

Yang noted that SAVR and TAVR on their own just put valves in without any change in annular structure. Surgeons often turn ...

Objective To compare the clinical outcomes and haemodynamic performance following transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) in patients with severe bicuspid versus tricuspid aortic stenosis (AS) ...

Aortic stenosis is 1 of the most common heart valve diseases among adults. When symptoms develop, prognosis is poor, and current guidelines recommend prompt aortic valve replacement. Depending of the ...

Introduction. Decompensated aortic valvular stenosis is a condition characterised by high mortality if treated medically and a significantly increased risk of perioperative mortality and morbidity in ...

The crucial elements for surgical success in acute TAAD are the excision of the primary entry tear, correction of any aortic valve insufficiency, ... Aortic valve resuspension with ascending aorta ...

Predictors of adverse outcome after replacement of the ascending aorta with resection of the intimal tear and open distal anastomosis were analyzed in 167 patients (109 male, median age 56). Median ...
