Lessons from modular approach to training for minimally invasive aortic valve replacement : implications for training and outcome

چکیده
Background/Introduction Minimally-invasive Aortic Valve Replacement (mini-AVR) is being increasingly adopted in clinical practice. Training can be a challenge due to the inherent difficulties of limited surgical exposure. We analysed individual trainee experience in our institutional undergoing mini-AVR training within a series of our cases where all AVRs are routinely undertaken by this approach.

Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement: A Review Article
Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is a novel therapeutic intervention for the replacement of severely stenotic aortic valves in high-risk patients for standard surgical procedures. Since the initial PARTNER trial results, use of TAVR has been on the rise each year. New delivery methods and different valves have been developed and modified in order to promote the minimally invasive p...
متن کاملMinimally invasive cardiac surgery: a safe alternative for aortic valve replacement?
Over the past 50 years, surgical aortic valve replacement with cardiopulmonary bypass has been the most widely employed strategy for the treatment of symptomatic aortic stenosis. Advances in prosthetic technology have contributed to improvements both in valve design and in the techniques used in surgical implantation. More recently, minimally invasive surgery for aortic valve replacement has un...

متن کاملPercutaneous aortic valve replacement. Part 3: Balloon counterpulsation of a novel temporary aortic valve.
A previously published two-part study described an engineering design of a percutaneous aortic valve (PAV) replacement system, which utilizes a novel temporary aortic valve (TAV) support to improve procedural outcomes and safety. Conceptually, this investigational approach can promote accurate PAV placement, procedural hemodynamic stability, smaller catheter delivery system, reduction in PAV re...
متن کاملBicuspid Aortic Valve: An Unusual Cause of Aneurysm of Left Coronary Sinus of Valsalva
Bicuspid aortic valve is traditionally considered an innocuous congenital anomaly. Due to a better and widespread availability of non-invasive imaging techniques, it has come to the fore that 30% of these cases develop complications, viz., valve abnormality (aortic regurgitation and stenosis), and aneurysm of aortic root and ascending aorta. Sinus of Valsalva aneurysm is an uncommon complicatio...
