These findings suggest a more liberal approach to ascending aortic surgery in patients with BAV undergoing valve replacement, but improved risk stratification is needed. There is a significant growth ...

Divided into four sections—the aortic root, ascending aorta, aortic arch, and descending aorta—it ensures blood reaches areas like the arms, legs, brain, and abdominal organs. Signs of a problem with ...

Abstract: Objective: Computational modelling of ascending thoracic aortic aneurysms (ATAA) typically assumes zerodisplacement at the model's inlet. In this study we incorporated different types of ...

THE primary purpose of this report is to emphasize the relation of a high-pitched "squeaking" or "musical" systolic murmur to aortic stenosis and calcification of the aortic valve. This is not so ...

Medtronic has issued a recall for several aortic root cannula devices due to a potential safety risk that could cause loose material to dislodge during use, potentially leading to stroke or death.

Valve-sparing aortic root replacement procedures necessitate precise correction of leaflet prolapse to ensure optimal valve function and long-term durability. This correction is typically achieved by ...

The Food and Drug Administration has identified a Class I recall of Medtronic Aortic Root Cannulas due to a risk of unexpected loose material in the male luer used in the cannula. The loose material ...

self-expanding Evolut transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) had similar rates of death or disabling stroke at five years compared with those whose valves were replaced through standard ...
