Surgical aortic-valve replacement with a transcatheter implant.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe a bailout procedure when surgical aortic-valve replacement was not possible due to severe calcification of the ascending aorta and the root and a very small annulus. A 21-mm CoreValve Revalving prosthesis was inserted via the aortotomy in the presence of a mitral prosthesis.

Transcatheter aortic valve implantation is an alternative to open heart surgery in high risk patients with severe aortic stenosis. High mortality and complications related to cardiopulmonary bypass for conventional open heart surgery can be avoided with this new less invasive technique. In case of concomitant severe arterial disease, the transapical approach is recommended rather than transfemo...
متن کاملRound Valve in an Oval Hole
Progressive narrowing of the aortic valve orifice eventually leads to limitations in cardiac output and myocardial blood flow, particularly during exercise or other physiological stress. The pressure gradient across the stenotic aortic valve is a useful and reproducible measure of the severity of the stenosis in most patients. The mainstay of therapy for aortic stenosis is relief of the fixed o...
