Percutaneous aortic valve implantation: the anesthesiologist perspective
نویسندگان
چکیده
Percutaneous aortic valve implantation is an emergent technique alternative to surgical aortic valve replacement in high risk patients with aortic stenosis. Percutaneous aortic valve implantation techniques are undergoing rapid development and currently represent a dynamic field of research. Perioperative optimal strategies keep on evolving too. At a review of the literature, only three previous papers on Pubmed focused specifically on anesthesiological challenges of percutaneous aortic valve implantation. In one of them our first 6 months experience was reported. In this new paper we describe the anesthesiological management of percutaneous aortic valve implantation at our Centre, reporting the results of our implantation program from November 2007 to February 2009.

Introduction: With the development of interventional cardiology in the world, in addition to coronary and aortic diseases, the treatment of heart valve diseases through catheters has recently begun. The treatment of aortic stenosis (which was only possible with open surgery and valve replacement) was first performed in the world in 2002 by Alain Cribier in France with catheter insertion of the ...

BACKGROUND Percutaneous aortic valve implantation by an antegrade transvenous approach has been described but is problematic. Retrograde prosthetic aortic valve implantation via the femoral artery has potential advantages. Percutaneous prosthetic aortic valve implantation via the femoral arterial approach is described and the initial experience reported. METHODS AND RESULTS The valve prosthes...

Aortic valve stenosis is increasing in frequency as the population ages. Surgical aortic valve replacement is the gold standard for symptomatic patients with severe aortic valve stenosis. However, in a subset of high-risk patients, the surgical option is excluded due to severe comorbidities. Recently, an alternative to surgical aortic valve replacement--percutaneous aortic valve replacement (PA...

Background—The morbidity and mortality of surgical aortic valve replacement are increased in elderly patients with multiple high-risk comorbid conditions. Therefore, a prospective, single-center, nonrandomized study was performed in high-risk patients with aortic valve disease to evaluate the feasibility and safety of percutaneous implantation of a novel self-expanding aortic valve bioprosthesi...
متن کامل[Percutaneous aortic valve implantation: initial experience in Spain].
Patients with symptomatic aortic stenosis have a very poor prognosis on medical treatment. In those with contraindications to surgery, percutaneous valve replacement has been proposed as an alternative. We report on physicians' initial experience in Spain with percutaneous aortic valve replacement. We analyzed inhospital and short-to-medium-term findings in four patients who underwent percutane...
