Transcatheter Aortic-Valve Implantation for Aortic Stenosis - 4/16
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is a potential treatment for patients with severe aortic stenosis. Many patients with aortic stenosis are very elderly and/or have multiple medical comorbidities, thus indicating a high-risk, often prohibitive, for surgery. This procedure is being evaluated as an alternative to open surgery for high-risk patients with aortic stenosis and as an alternative to nonsurgical therapy for patients with a prohibitive risk for surgery.

Transcatheter 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...

Transcatheter aortic valve implantation was developed to offer a therapeutic solution to patients with severe symptomatic aortic stenosis who are not candidates for conventional aortic valve replacement. The improvement in transcatheter aortic valve implantation outcomes is still of concern in the areas of stroke, vascular injury, heart block, paravalvular regurgitation and valve durability. Co...

Background Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) offers a minimal invasive option for the treatment of patients with severe aortic stenosis at high risk for conventional surgery. The objective of this study was to investigate whether there is a positive effect on the left ventricular remodeling 6 month after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) using cardiac magnetic resonanc...
متن کاملConsecutive Sessions of Rescue Balloon Aortic Valvuloplasty for Critical Aortic Valve Stenosis Followed by Successful Bridging to Trans-Catheter Aortic Valve Implantation.
UNLABELLED Percutaneous balloon aortic valvuloplasty (BAV) was a rare procedure in catheterization laboratories because of its limited prognostic impact. The recent advent of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has led to a resurgence of BAV, opening the way to a new indication as a bridge to TAVI. Herein, we reported an 83-year-old man with critical aortic valve stenosis and pulmona...
