Peak systolic myocardial velocity in patients undergoing surgical aortic valve replacement for severe aortic stenosis: prognostic value and natural course
Myocardial systolic longitudinal function has been known to decrease in patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS). Preoperative peak systolic...

Experimental observation on a new chimney-shaped mechanical valve completely implanted above the mitral annulus in animals
Current commercially available prosthetic valves suffer from limited size, high requirements for implantation technique, subvalvular structural...

Reduction of contrast medium for transcatheter aortic valve replacement planning using a spectral detector CT: a prospective clinical trial
IntroductionThis study investigated the use of dual-energy spectral detector computed tomography (CT) and virtual monoenergetic imaging (VMI)...

Right transaxillary transcatheter aortic valve replacement is comparable to left despite challenges
ObjectivesTransaxillary access is the most popular alternative to transfemoral transcatheter aortic valve replacement. Although left transaxillary...

Severe mitral valve insufficiency caused by standard surgical aortic valve implantation and its reparation using suture-less prosthesis
BackgroundAortic valve stenosis is the most frequent cardiac valve pathology in the western world. Surgical aortic valve replacement is the gold...

Clinical outcomes of bicuspid versus tricuspid aortic valve stenosis after transcatheter aortic valve replacement with self-expandable valves
BackgroundThere is a lack of available data on specific prognostic comparisons between transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) using...

Adjustable external Dacron annuloplasty in aortic valve repair
In aortic valve repair, whilst performing a Yacoub remodelling operation, the external annuloplasty of the aortic ring plays a very important role....

Circulating Irisin Level as a Biomarker for Pure Aortic Stenosis and Aortic Valve Calcification
Irisin, a myokine mainly secreted by skeletal and cardiac muscles, is actively involved in cardiovascular diseases. However, whether irisin is...

Internal circular suture annuloplasty for aortic valve repair
Stabilizing the aorto-ventricular junction is integral in aortic valve repair. We report our technique of internal circular suture annuloplasty. We...

Concomitant aortic regurgitation predicts better left ventricular reverse remodeling after transcatheter aortic valve replacement
BackgroundWe aim to determine predictors of inadequate left ventricular mass index (LVMi) regression at mid-term after transcatheter aortic valve...

Safety and efficacy of two-port thoracoscopic aortic valve replacement
BackgroundPure aortic valve disease is common and has been treated with sternotomy aortic valve replacement for decades. Minimally invasive cardiac...

Aortic root replacement for aortic root aneurysm with severe aortic regurgitation and incidentally detected left ventricular hyper-trabeculation/noncompaction
A 54-year-old male with severe aortic regurgitation (AR), aortic root aneurysm, left ventricular hyper-trabeculation/noncompaction (LVHT) and...

Completely detached mechanical aortic valve prosthesis stuck to the aortic arch in a patient with Behçet’s disease
BackgroundAlthough detachment of the implanted valve prosthesis was a well-known complication in patients with Behçet’s disease, complete detachment...
