Porcelain aorta and severe aortic stenosis: is transcatheter aortic valve implantation the new standard?
Thoracic aorta calcification is associated with coronary and valvular calcification and increased risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events. Porcelain aorta represents excessive calcification of the thoracic ascending aorta (Figure) and is a challenging substrate for cardiac surgeons because aortic cross-clamping and aortotomy may cause excessive aortic injury and/or release of thromboe...
متن کاملHealth-related quality of life after transcatheter aortic valve replacement in inoperable patients with severe aortic stenosis.
Background- Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has been shown to improve survival compared with standard therapy in patients with severe aortic stenosis who cannot have surgery. The effects of TAVR on health-related quality of life have not been reported from a controlled study. Methods and Results- The Placement of Aortic Transcatheter Valves (PARTNER) trial randomized patients wit...
متن کاملBeyond Adding Years to Life: Health-related Quality-of-life and Functional Outcomes in Patients with Severe Aortic Valve Stenosis at High Surgical Risk Undergoing Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement
Aortic valve stenosis (AVS) is the most frequent acquired valvular heart disease in western industrialized countries and its prevalence considerably increases with age. Once becoming symptomatic severe AVS has a very poor prognosis. Progressive and rapid symptom deterioration leads to an impairment of functional status and compromised healthrelated quality-of-life (HrQoL) simultaneously. Until ...
متن کاملStart-up of the program of transcatheter aortic valve implantation using a balloon-expandable Edwards Sapien XT transcatheter heart valve. Description of the first case in Mexico.
Degenerative aortic valve stenosis (AS) is the most common valvular heart disease. About two-thirds of all valve operations are for aortic valve replacement (AVR). After onset of symptoms (angina, syncope or heart failure) severe aortic stenosis has a poor prognosis with an average survival of two or three years and a high risk of sudden death. According to the ACC/AHA and the European Society ...
متن کاملHealth-Related Quality of Life after Valve Replacement Surgery
Background: Heart valve disease gradually increases the pressure in the heart chambers and impairs heart pumping. It influences on quality of life due to low output, disability, fear, amnesia, anxiety, and depression. Although most of signs and symptoms in patients with heart valve diseases may significantly decrease after valve replacement surgery, there is limited information about the impact...
