Book excerpt: "This book provides the first authoritative account of the use of stentless bioprostheses in cardiac surgery." "The concept of the stentless heart valve was borne from the observation of natural heart valves in the operating theatre. Many surgeons now believe that the porcine stentless bioprosthesis offers significant advantages over the traditional stented valve, including improved durability (minimum calcification, no tears), biocompatability and automatic ventricular function preservation." "These issues, along with the suitability of the various valves now available are discussed in full by leading experts in the field." "The text is divided into three main sections; historical background, stentless valve technology and clinical experience. Each chapter is fully referenced and complemented by photographs and operative line illustrations, the majority of which are in full colour." --Book Jacket.

Download or read book Calcific Aortic Valve Disease written by Elena Aikawa and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2013-06-12 with total page 544 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Due to population aging, calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD) has become the most common heart valve disease in Western countries. No therapies exist to slow this disease progression, and surgical valve replacement is the only effective treatment. Calcific Aortic Valve Disease covers the contemporary understanding of basic valve biology and the mechanisms of CAVD, provides novel insights into the genetics, proteomics, and metabolomics of CAVD, depicts new strategies in heart valve tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, and explores current treatment approaches. As we are on the verge of understanding the mechanisms of CAVD, we hope that this book will enable readers to comprehend our current knowledge and focus on the possibility of preventing disease progression in the future.
Download or read book Aortic Valve Transcatheter Intervention written by Marco Zimarino and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2021-05-07 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aortic Valve Transcatheter Intervention Calcific aortic stenosis (AS) is the most common heart valve anomaly, with a largely age-dependent prevalence, a calculated annual incidence rate in the range of 4-5% in general populations and up to 6% in patients aged 75 years and over. Surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) was previously the only option available to patients with symptomatic, severe aortic stenosis. After the first-in-human transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) was performed by Alain Cribier in 2002, the treatment strategy for patients with symptomatic AS has been revolutionized. Since then, TAVI has grown exponentially, as a result of accruing evidence demonstrating safety and efficacy, and reduced invasiveness compared with SAVR. TAVI devices are continuously expanding to include several valve design options. As this strategy is continuously evolving to treat younger patients and lower-risk populations, aside from the long-term durability of the valve systems, procedural safety will become the focus of newer-generation devices. This book is a practical handbook devoted to the optimization of TAVI procedures, through a focused containment of complications. Through an integrated evaluation of the clinical status, imaging techniques and laboratory findings, the authors provide readers with clear messages on preventive and therapeutic recommendations.

Download or read book Surgical procedures on the Aortic Valve The Operative Techniques written by Srikrishna Sirivella and published by Scientific Research Publishing, Inc. USA. This book was released on 2020-04-17 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Several techniques have evolved during the past few decades for addressing lesions affecting the aortic valve, aortic root, and proximal ascending aorta. As diseases affecting the aortic valve and aortic root are varied, it is not surprising that several operative techniques have evolved and some of these techniques are based on achieving the long term durability, hemodynamic advantage, and perhaps the increased survival of the patients. The aortic root is attached to the left ventricular outflow tract and continues as the proximal ascending aorta. The proximal ascending aorta is composed of sinus aorta or aortic sinuses from which the aortic valve is suspended. The diseases can involve the aortic valve, sinus aorta, and aortic root in common such as in aortic aneurysms, ascending aortic dissection, and bacterial endocarditis. Surgical corrective procedures to address these lesions are so described in common with procedures on the aortic valve. During the past decade with the emergence of new technologies the aortic valve and aortic root surgery has changed with introduction of procedures such as catheter based interventions for aortic valve replacement, mini sternotomy approach, aortic stent grafting and valve replacement, and introduction of endoscopic surgery and robotics. Despite these advances, the basic surgical techniques on the aortic valve have not changed and these basic surgical procedures are described in this text in detail in addition to xenograft and homograft replacement of the aortic root and aortic valve. In addition to the detailed description of the surgical techniques involving the aortic root and aortic valve, a brief discussion of the normal anatomy of the aortic root, aortic valve, and closely related anatomical structures is provided to enable the readers to perform surgical procedures which are safe without untoward technical complications. Several practical issues encountered at the operating table while performing certain surgical techniques are addressed for accomplishing the operative techniques with ease.
Download or read book Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation written by Arturo Giordano and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-07-01 with total page 550 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides comprehensive information on transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI), which was introduced for the treatment of aortic valve disease less than two decades ago. It explains how TAVI has delivered satisfactory results even in high and intermediate risk patients and outlines how it continues to evolve, thus requiring awareness of state of the art approaches to indication, risk stratification, device choice, procedure, and follow-up. In addition, it reports on the complex and multidisciplinary approach needed to maximize the efficacy, safety, and appropriateness of TAVI, providing detailed clinical, interventional and surgical perspectives focusing on the development of this cardiovascular intervention. Starting with the history of TAVI, addressing the interventional anatomy of aortic valve disease, and reporting on the expert authors’ day-to-day experiences, this highly informative book offers an essential update for all cardiologists and surgeons interested in transcatheter aortic valve implantation, as well as any clinician, decision-maker and stakeholder involved in patient selection, procedural management, and follow-up.

Download or read book Aortic Valve Replacement and the Stentless Freedom SOLO Valve written by Laurens Willem Lodewijk Maria Wollersheim and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 149 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aortic valve stenosis has become the most prevalent valvular heart disease in Europe and North America, and is generally caused by age-related calcification of the aortic valve. For most patients, severe symptomatic aortic stenosis needs effective mechanical relief in the form of valve replacement before it becomes a lethal obstruction to outflow. This dissertation focuses on the evaluation and performance of the stentless Freedom SOLO bioprosthesis. We found several clinical and hemodynamic advantages for the Freedom SOLO. Due to the implantation technique, there are few patients that require the implantation of a permanent pacemaker. In addition, the postoperative valvular gradients are excellent and remain stable during midterm follow-up, with large effective orifice areas. Furthermore, structural valve deterioration and aortic valve reoperation are infrequent. However, because of its specific design and implantation technique, not every patient profits from this valve and therefore patient selection is crucial. Based on our extensive implant experience we presented our contraindications for the use of the Freedom SOLO. We discussed several options in the event of a degenerated Freedom SOLO and reported for each technique the pitfalls. Additionally, 4D flow MRI, a new imaging modality, was used to compare stentless and stented valves in a pilot study. At this moment, the Freedom SOLO should be considered for use in patients with a small aortic root, or in patients that in any other way are at risk for prosthesis-patient mismatch, or in patients that could profit from the superior hemodynamic performance and the large effective orifice area.
