Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement: A Review Article
Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is a novel therapeutic intervention for the replacement of severely stenotic aortic valves in high-risk patients for standard surgical procedures. Since the initial PARTNER trial results, use of TAVR has been on the rise each year. New delivery methods and different valves have been developed and modified in order to promote the minimally invasive p...
متن کاملDouble Valve Replacement (Mitral and Aortic) for Rheumatic Heart Disease: A 20-year experience with 300 patients.
Introduction: Rheumatic heart disease still remains one of the leading causes of congestive heart failure and death owing to valvular pathologies, in developing countries. Valve replacement still remains the treatment of choice in such patients.The aim of this study wasto analyze the postoperative outcome of double valve replacement (Mitral and Aortic ) in patients of rheumatic heart disease. ...
متن کاملHyperkalemia-induced complete heart block
Background: Potassium, as an extracellular ion, plays an important role in the electrophysiologic function of the myocardium and any change in extracellular concentration of this ion might have a marked impression upon myocyte electrophysiologic gain. High serum potassium levels are thought to impair pulse conduction in Purkinje fibers and ventricles more than that in the Atrio...
متن کاملAn alternative subcoronary implantation technique decreases the risk of complete heart block after stentless aortic valve replacement
CONTEXT Stentless aortic valve prostheses have excellent hemodynamic profiles, but may be associated with an increased postoperative heart block when compared to conventional prostheses. AIMS To assess the effect of an alternative subcoronary implantation technique on postoperative complete heart block (CHB) and permanent pacemaker implantation (PPI) following aortic valve replacement (AVR) w...
متن کاملComplete heart block developing during aortic valvuloplasty.
We report the occurrence of CHB consequent to ABV in an 80-year-old white woman with calcific aortic stenosis. The patient underwent ABV with a balloon 20 mm in diameter, resulting in only a modest increase in aortic valve area and a decrease in aortic valve gradient. The procedure was complicated by transient intermittent CHB which required temporary transvenous pacemaking and resolved within ...
