Aortic valve repair in children.
We are now realizing that aortic valve disease afflicting children is for the majority a life-long condition requiring repetitive interventions. Treatment strategies should be favoured that allow the largest proportion of patients to have the smallest number of interventions over their lifetime. Surgical techniques have been refined in the last two decades making primary surgery a more attracti...
متن کاملAortic dilatation in bicuspid aortic valve disease.
Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is the most common congenital cardiac abnormality, occurring in 0.5%-1.4% of the population; this anomaly is sporadically transmitted genetically by an autosomaldominant pathway, with a 3:1 male predominance. BAV is clinically important, not only because of valve-related complications (valve dysfunction, infective endocarditis), but also because of its association wi...
متن کاملCalcific Aortic Valve Disease
Despite the high prevalence and severe consequences of calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD), its pathogenesis remains relatively poorly understood. For many years, CAVD was considered a degenerative disease, where calcification was a consequence of normal aging. Although it is now widely accepted that CAVD is an active disease process, the erroneous degenerative label contributed to delayed pro...
متن کاملBicuspid aortic valve disease.
Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) disease is the most common congenital cardiac defect. While the BAV can be found in isolation, it is often associated with other congenital cardiac lesions. The most frequent associated finding is dilation of the proximal ascending aorta secondary to abnormalities of the aortic media. Changes in the aortic media are present independent of whether the valve is functio...
متن کاملCalcific Aortic Valve Disease
Aortic stenosis due to calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD) is currently the main indication for aortic valve replacement in developed countries (Iung et al, 2003). Due to an aging population and a decline in rheumatic heart disease, CAVD has become the most common heart valve disease in the Western countries, affecting approximately 25% of adults over 65 years, of which 2-3% has clinically sig...
