TCTAP A-049 Non-hyperaemic Pressure Ratios Demonstrate Excellent Agreement with iFR in Patients with Severe Aortic Stenosis

Unoperated patients with severe aortic stenosis.

To the Editor: Aortic valve replacement (AVR) is an accepted standard for the treatment of aortic stenosis (AS) (1,2). Patients with symptoms exhibit superior survival after AVR, making symptomatic severe AS a well-accepted indication for AVR. In asymptomatic patients, stress testing is now accepted to help estimate risk and guide AVR (2). Advanced age and comorbidities that increase operative ...

single stage aortic valve replacement and splenectomy in a patient with severe aortic stenosis

splenomegaly-induced thrombocytopenia is fully described in hematological and surgical literature, but its association with severe aortic stenosis is rare. we present a case of severe aortic valve stenosis with severe splenomegaly-induced thrombocytopenia in which aortic valve replacement was done with a number 23 homograft and splenectomy was performed after the end of cardiopulmonary bypass. ...

Stress Testing in Patients with Asymptomatic Severe Aortic Stenosis

Role of BNP in patients with severe asymptomatic aortic stenosis.

Senile degenerative valvular aortic stenosis affects approximately 2% of the population over the age of 65. Aortic stenosis impedes left ventricular emptying and increases left ventricular wall stress, which leads to elevation of brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels. Aortic stenosis progresses slowly, allowing the left ventricle to develop concentric hypertrophy, which normalizes wall stress....
