Transcatheter aortic valve implantation in a hybrid operating room using HeartNavigator
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Following a short training course in Leipzig, our team began their own TAVI program in 2008, using a mobile C-arm X-ray system in a conventional operating room. Experts from Leipzig, Prof Sack and Prof Walther, provided assistance and support during the initial phase. During the first nine months, 125 patients were treated, approximately evenly divided between the transfemoral and transapical approach. The results were very encouraging, and the procedure was easy to integrate in the clinical routine.

After its first introduction in 2002, transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has continuously gained more foothold for the treatment of severe aortic stenosis and is nowadays a viable treatment option for inoperable patients or patients at high risk for conventional surgical aortic valve replacement. Although ideally carried out in a so-called hybrid room, incorporating both the strict ...
متن کاملTranscatheter 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 کاملSystem to Guide Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantations Based on Interventional C-Arm CT Imaging
Transcatheter aortic valve implantation is an emerging technique to be applied in patients with aortic valve defects. Angiographic and fluoroscopic X-ray imaging with a C-arm system is crucial in these minimally invasive procedures. We describe a prototypical system based on the ability to acquire a 3D C-arm CT image during transcatheter aortic valve implantations. It supports the physician in ...
