A new ultrasonic process for a renewal of aortic valve decalcification
BACKGROUND Aortic valve decalcification by ultrasound was given up. We evaluated a new ultrasound microhandpiece (Dissectron Penstyle) to rehabilitate this alternative treatment. METHODS We used under magnifying lenses the ultrasound microhandpiece to decalcify 30 explanted aortic valves. In the cases with embedded calcifications the thin top of the probe could be introduced into the thicknes...
متن کاملMitral and Aortic Valve Stenosis
Background. Magnetic resonance (MR) phase-shift velocity mapping is an established method for measurement of nonturbulent intravascular flow. Shortening the echo time of the MR sequence to 3.6 msec allowed application of the technique to turbulent jet flow. The objective of this study was validation of MR jet velocity mapping in patients with cardiac valve stenosis. Methods and Results. We used...

متن کاملSuccessful Use of Two Thrombolytic Drugs in Prosthetic Mitral and Aortic Valve Thrombosis
Introduction: Prosthetic valve thrombosis is a rare and severe complication of valve replacement, most often encountered with a mechanical prosthesis. The significant morbidity and mortality associated with this condition warrant rapid diagnostic evaluation. Although surgery is the first-line therapy in symptomatic obstructive mechanical valve thrombosis, thrombolytic therapy has been used as a...
