Direct aortic measurements using phase contrast allow quantitation of volumetric flow across the aortic valve ... Compared with echocardiography, CMR has improved reproducibility in quantifying PVL ...

The researchers reviewed data on nearly 110,000 patients who underwent surgical replacement of aortic valves between the ages of 40 and 79. They found that in those aged 60 or younger, mechanical ...

Jan 29 (Reuters) - Middle-aged adults who need an aortic valve replacement fare better with mechanical devices than with the valves made from animal tissues that they currently most often receive ...

ACURATE neo2 TAVI achieves high success in severe bicuspid aortic stenosis, demonstrating strong 30-day safety and efficacy.

Decline in mechanical valve use: Despite superior outcomes in younger populations, mechanical valve use decreased from 20% to 10% over the study's 12-year period. Survival advantage: Mechanical ...

Associate Professor Yap said the replacement is often done by conducting a minimally invasive procedure known as transcatheter aortic valve implantation (Tavi). This involves making a small ...

Funding PP received funding from Edwards Lifesciences and Medtronic for echocardiography core laboratory analyses in the field of transcatheter aortic valve replacement with no direct personal ...

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is present in 40–75% of patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) for severe symptomatic aortic stenosis. Currently, the indication for TAVI is ...

If you have heart valve replacement surgery, you will be prescribed a blood thinner (a.k.a. an anticoagulant) upon discharge from the hospital. Long-term blood thinner medication guidelines differ ...

Whether you’re layering on the shine or just dipping your toes into a metallic sneaker, one thing’s for sure: this trend is here to make sure you catch the light, no matter where you go.

Metallic rocks, typically found around 4,000 metres (13,100 feet) below the surface in the Clarion-Clipperton Zone, can produce oxygen even where no light can penetrate, according to a study.
