Transapical aortic valve implantation – a rescue procedure for patients with aortic stenosis and “porcelain aorta”

چکیده
Surgical aortic valve replacement (AVR) still remains the treatment of choice in symptomatic significant aortic stenosis (AS). Due to technical problems, extensive calcification of the ascending aorta ("porcelain aorta") is an additional risk factor for surgery and transapical aortic valve implantation (TAAVI) is likely to be the only rescue procedure for this group of patients. We describe the case of an 81-year-old woman with severe AS and "porcelain aorta", in whom the only available life-saving intervention was TAAVI.

Combined transapical aortic valve implantation with coronary artery bypass grafting in a young patient with porcelain aorta.
The surgical management of porcelain aorta in patients requiring aortic valve replacement or coronary artery surgery carries a high morbidity and mortality and remains controversial. We report a successful transapical aortic valve implantation in combination with on-pump coronary artery bypass grafting in a young patient with severe aortic stenosis, left main coronary artery disease and porcela...

UNLABELLED A 74-year-old woman who was diagnosed with right breast cancer at age 39 had been treated with mastectomy, and repeated cycles of chemotherapy and radiotherapy. She also had a history of coronary artery disease, wherein two coronary artery bypass grafts were performed 3 years ago. At that time, porcelain aorta was detected during surgery. In the year prior to admission, the patient p...

Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) represents a therapeutic option of increasing impact for the treatment of high-risk patients with symptomatic, severe aortic valve stenosis. We report here the case of an 86-year old patient with a cutaneo-pericardial fistula after a transapical TAVI procedure.

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES There is little information on the use of transcatheter aortic valve implantation in patients with severe aortic stenosis and porcelain aorta. The primary aim of this study was to analyze death from any cause after CoreValve(®) implantation in patients with severe aortic stenosis, with and without porcelain aorta. METHODS In this multicenter, observational prospect...
متن کاملPorcelain 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...
