Transapical implantation of a self-expanding aortic valve bioprosthesis--animal feasibility study.
BACKGROUND Severe peripheral arterial disease may pose a limitation to the applicability of trans-arterial aortic valve implantation in patients who are otherwise candidates. For this reason, transapical aortic valve implantation has been proposed as a possible alternative. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the acute safety and performance of a specially designed delivery system, the CoreValve Tranzap de...
متن کاملTrans-catheter Bioprosthetic Heart Valve Implantation in Iran (Tehran Heart Centre Experience)
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 ...
متن کاملTransapical approach for transcatheter aortic valve implantation.
With the advancement of device technology and procedural techniques, most transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) procedures have been performed with the transfemoral approach in recent years (1). However, alternative approaches such as transapical, trans-subclavian, direct aortic and others still play an important role in patients with poor vascular access. Transapical approach is the o...
متن کاملFeasibility of transapical aortic valve replacement through a left ventricular apical diverticulum
Transapical aortic valve replacement is an established technique performed in high-risk patients with symptomatic aortic valve stenosis and vascular disease contraindicating trans-vascular and trans-aortic procedures. The presence of a left ventricular apical diverticulum is a rare event and the treatment depends on dimensions and estimated risk of embolisation, rupture, or onset of ventricular...
متن کاملApical access and closure devices for transapical transcatheter heart valve procedures.
The majority of transcatheter aortic valve implantations, structural heart procedures and the newly developed transcatheter mitral valve repair and replacement are traditionally performed either through a transfemoral or a transapical access site, depending on the presence of severe peripheral vascular disease or anatomic limitations. The transapical approach, which carries specific advantages ...
