Understanding Aortic Valve and Aortic StenosisThe aortic valve is one of the heart’s four vital valves. It ensures that blood flows in one direction, from the h ...

Low-risk patients with severe, symptomatic aortic stenosis show similar clinical outcomes and valve durability ...

PLYMOUTH MEETING, Pa. (WPVI) -- The TAVR procedure has revolutionized a challenging task in heart care: fixing stiff valves. And it has made the process much easier for patients, getting them back to ...

For all the innovation, engineering, and miniaturization that has helped to refine surgical and transcatheter aortic valve replacement over the last few decades, they still fall short of ideal. That ...

Caranx Medical ("Caranx"), a French medical device company specializing in the development of an autonomous robot to democratize access to Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI), a lifesaving ...

Valve-in-valve (ViV) transcatheter procedures for a failed aortic bioprosthesis are associated with a lower risk of in-hospital mortality compared with a repeat surgical aortic valve replacement, but ...

Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) demonstrated better short-term outcomes, while surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) had better long-term outcomes. A recent study found that when it ...

Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is valve replacement without open-heart surgery. It is also called catheter-based or percutaneous (through the skin) aortic valve replacement. While ...

The aortic valve sits between the heart’s left ventricle and the aorta. It opens and closes with the heartbeat to allow blood to flow to the body without leaking back into the heart. It may need to be ...

Surgery to replace an aortic valve is done for aortic valve stenosis and aortic valve regurgitation. During this surgery, the damaged valve is removed and replaced with an artificial valve. The valve ...

Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is a congenital heart condition. It occurs when the aortic valve has two cusps instead of the three. BAV can lead to serious complications. Several treatment options can ...
