Percutaneous aortic valve replacement: computed tomography scan after valved stent implantation in human cadaver hearts.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Computed tomography scans were performed before and after aortic valve resection with consecutive implantation of a valved stent in human hearts with highly calcified aortic valves in situ (n=2). This demonstrates that the valved stent shows better fitting in the annulus after removal of the native valve.

Percutaneous pulmonary valve replacement: autologous tissue-engineered valved stents.
AIMS Percutaneous implantation has already been used clinically and is a great option for treating young patients. The use of autologous tissue-engineered valved stents might solve the problem of degeneration and limited durability of biological heart valves. METHODS AND RESULTS Porcine pulmonary heart valves and small intestinal submucosa were obtained from a slaughterhouse. The intestinal s...
متن کاملSteps toward percutaneous aortic valve replacement.
BACKGROUND To date, the surgical approach is the only option to replace the aortic valve. Percutaneous pulmonary valve replacement has recently opened new perspectives on transcatheter replacement of cardiac valves. We report our experience of aortic valve replacement through a percutaneous technique in lambs. METHODS AND RESULTS A bovine jugular vein containing a valve was dissected and sutu...
متن کاملPercutaneous valved stent implantation above the coronary ostia.
BACKGROUND In recent years, some experimental and clinical studies on transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) have been conducted. TAVI is indicated in patients with calcified pure or predominant aortic stenosis. The risk of this technique is still high. Aortic valved stent implantation above the coronary ostia might avoid blocking the coronary ostia. METHODS AND RESULTS Twenty healthy...

PURPOSE We investigated the effects of percutaneous valved stent implantation in the ascending aorta as an alternative treatment for aortic regurgitation in a canine model. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 16 healthy dogs weighing an average of 18.3 ± 2.1 kg were used for the establishment of animal models of chronic aortic regurgitation by percutaneous aortic valve perforation and balloon di...
متن کاملSevere calcification of a Shelhigh stentless valved conduit.
A 74-year old patient developed severe aortic valve regurgitation 11 years following root replacement using a stentless Shelhigh tube-graft. Computed tomography scan showed a heavily calcified aortic conduit (Fig. 1), although the company claims that detoxification process eliminates residual glutaraldehyde and ensures less calcification in the long term. The patient underwent successful transa...
