متن کاملRotational ablation assisted angioplasty of an obstructed aortopulmonary collateral artery.
A 15 month old baby girl with pulmonary atresia, ventricular septal defect, and multiple aortopulmonary collateral arteries underwent rotational ablation assisted balloon angioplasty of a severely stenosed collateral artery that had previously proved undilatable using a high pressure non-compliant balloon angioplasty catheter. It is postulated that the rotablation debulked a fibrotic stricture ...
متن کاملThe vitamin D receptor genotype predisposes to the development of calcific aortic valve stenosis.
OBJECTIVE To test the hypothesis that vitamin D receptor polymorphism is associated with calcific aortic valve stenosis. DESIGN The distribution of one polymorphism of the vitamin D receptor (BsmI B/b) was examined in 100 consecutive patients with calcific valvar aortic stenosis and compared with a control group of 100 patients (paired match for age, sex, and the presence of coronary artery d...
متن کاملContinuity equation is the echocardiographic method of choice to assess degenerative mitral stenosis.
We present a rare case of a patient with severe, symptomatic degenerative calcific mitral stenosis (MS). Calcification of mitral valve annulus (MVA) is a frequent finding in elderly patients. It can be isolated or associated more often with mitral valve insufficiency than MS. In rare cases, it results in severe MS. An accurate measurement of MVA in degenerative calcific MS is problematic becaus...
متن کاملEmerging medical treatments for aortic stenosis: statins, angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors, or both?
Aortic stenosis is the most common adult heart valve condition seen in the Western world and its incidence continues to rise. No established disease modifying treatments retard progression of the stenotic process. Recent insights into the pathogenesis of calcific aortic stenosis suggest that the disease mimics atherosclerosis. The natural history and progression of calcific aortic stenosis are ...
