Doppler color-flow echocardiography shows a bicuspid aortic valve with an eccentric jet ... replacement (an ascending aortic graft with a prosthesis) is associated with a mortality of 1 to 10 ...

An echocardiogram shows normal systolic function and a heavily calcified aortic valve. The patient's peak Doppler transvalvular ... deterioration of the prosthetic valve, requiring reoperation ...

TAVI uses the expandable Medtronic CoreValve prosthesis, which is delivered through the femoral or subclavian arteries and allowed to expand into the location of the defective aortic valve.

We should also emphasize that implantation of a small prosthesis does not necessarily result in PPM, and can be perfectly adequate in a patient with small body size. In conclusion, PPM is a ...

particularly when used in the aortic position for mechanical prostheses. Although relatively rare, valve dysfunction does occur with prosthetic valves in the forms of structural valve deterioration or ...

Sometimes, children are born with this condition. Aortic stenosis is usually treated by replacing the valve with a prosthetic valve. This can be implanted surgically or, more commonly today, via a ...

Aortic valve replacement is a surgery that removes and replaces the damaged aortic valve with a prosthetic valve. It is a major surgery. Not everyone is a good candidate for this surgery.

The Perimount Magna aortic pericardial bioprosthesis is poised to replace the company's 22-year-old Carpentier-Edwards Perimount valve, currently the best-selling valve prosthesis in the US.

During surgical aortic valve replacement, the patient receives a valve prosthesis that matches the size of the aortic root. Sometimes, that size is too small in relation to the patient's body size.

DEAR DR. ROACH: I’ve had a leaky aortic valve for approximately six years. I recently had an echocardiogram using Doppler. The last test I received was three years ago, which came back with a ...
