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 From Biology to Clinical Management An Update on Aortic Valve Disease 2nd Edition written by Cécile Oury and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2020-03-04 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Calcific aortic valve stenosis is the most frequent valvular heart disease in Western countries, affecting up to 13% of individuals over 75 years. The disease is associated with considerable morbidity and mortality. It is characterized by fibro-calcification of aortic valve cusps and concomitant left ventricular remodelling due to chronic pressure overload, which can evolve into overt heart failure. It progresses very slowly until the onset of symptoms, the indication for aortic valve replacement. Today, about 300,000 aortic valve replacements are performed annually worldwide, either via surgery or transcatheter implantation. This is the only treatment shown to improve survival. There is no pharmacological treatment to prevent or slow disease progression. Major risk factors include older age, congenital anomalies of the aortic valve (bicuspid valve), male gender, hypertension, dyslipidaemia, smoking, and diabetes. However, how these factors contribute to the disease in unclear. Due to the disease itself, patients are at increased risk of both thrombosis and bleeding, which, in addition to advanced age and comorbidities, makes antithrombotic management of these patients difficult. Regarding valve prostheses, the ideal prosthesis either mechanical or biological still does not exist. Clinically available prostheses can lead to major complications, thrombosis or infection, which necessitate reoperation or cause death in 50-60% of patients within 10 years post-implantation. Hence, there are major unmet medical needs in CAVS and more basic and translational research is definitely required. Our Research Topic depicts major challenges and research paths that could be followed to address these major health needs.

Download or read book Where Are We Tomorrow written by Tavi Taylor Black and published by . This book was released on 2024-08-15 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the 2022 Nancy Pearl Award for Literary Fiction "Tavi Black brings the reader right onto the bus with an all-access pass to the strange life that is touring. This is a riveting read and beautiful depiction of the ups and downs on the road of life." -Norah Jones, Grammy Award-winning Singer/Songwriter "An often intriguing and emotional look at lives on and off the road." -Kirkus Four women working backstage on a rock tour each come to terms with being a woman in a male-dominated industry. When Alex Evans, a thirty-six-year-old touring electrician, is implicated in an accident involving the female pop star she works for, she and three other women on tour rent a house together in Tuscany. While the tour regroups, confessions are made, secrets are spilled: the guitar tech conceals a forbidden love, the production assistant's ambition knows no limits, and the personal assistant battles mental issues. Through arguments and accidents, combating drug use and religion, the women help each other look back on the choices they've made, eventually buoying each other, offering up strength to face tough decisions ahead. Where Are We Tomorrow? was a finalist in the 2021 Indie Book Awards, the NIEA Awards, the NYC Big Book Award and and a finalist in the Nicholas Schaffner Award for Music in Literature. "After many tours with Tavi as our tour-manager and experiencing firsthand her humor, her thoughtfulness, her grounded-ness and her observant nature I had no doubt that she would be able to take me into the world behind the scenes of a tour in a way not many people could. If you ever wondered (just like I used to) what really happens behind those dark windows of a tour bus, or during sound-check in an empty theatre or in green rooms-all those dark and confusing alleyways and elevators away from the stage, Tavi will take you there." -Deva Premal, Singer and Grammy Award Nominee (Deva, Best New Age Album, 2018) "Every so often, you find a book-against all odds-that changes the way you think. A book that you know you might not have found. Where Are We Tomorrow? is just such a book. Tavi Black has written a story about women who are ambitious, who are talented and who are free to their artistry. The main character works backstage in show business: in the dark behind the backdrop, using tools, wearing boots that protect the feet. When I was very young and still startled by the wonders of reading, I found a book that changed my understanding about how women daily contribute to saving society. Valerie Miner's novel about nurses in WWII, a novel that changed me, that I have never forgotten. Books can change your mind about life, about what work you might do, about what kinds of other 'you's might be out there, working in the world. Where Are We Tomorrow? will change some readers, especially girls and young women who need the critical reminder that not all women wear heels."-A.J. Verdelle, Author, The Good Negress and Miss Chloe
