Feasibility and safety of transradial balloon aortic valvuloplasty in patients with severe aortic stenosis - PubMed
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34981414/
Balloon aortic valvuloplasty (BAV) was developed as a technique to treat aortic stenosis (AS) and is associated with significant improvements in aortic valve area and trans-aortic valve gradient in the...
Conclusion/Relevance: Trans-radial BAV is safe and may be useful as a bridging therapy for trans-catheter aortic valve replacement or surgical aortic valve replacement.
State-of-the-art: Insights from the Ross Registry
Source : https://www.jtcvstechniques.org/article/S2666-2507(21)00479-X/fulltext
The treatment of aortic valve disease in young patients is still a major clinical challenge, as the pre-eminent emphasis is on durability and long-term outcomes beyond 10 to 15 years,...
Relevance: In the absence of robust randomized controlled trials, registry data are very important to monitor outcomes and mirror the quality of current practice. Therefore, the Ross Registry provides a unique and important data base regarding treatment of aortic valve disease in young patients.
Tailoring the Ross procedure for patients with aortic regurgitation
Source : https://www.jtcvstechniques.org/article/S2666-2507(21)00401-6/fulltext
Aortic valve repair and aortic valve-sparing operations represent the best options to treat aortic regurgitation (AR) in nonelderly adults.1,2 When performed by expert surgeons, these operations are safe and result...
Relevance: Herein we review the contemporary evidence surrounding the use of the Ross procedure in patients with AR and describe the technical and medical modifications that make the Ross procedure the best operation to treat young adults with nonrepairable AR.
Application of different types of hybrid aortic arch repair:Toward to solve dissection involving the aortic arch - PubMed

Conclusion: Our results with hybrid aortic arch repair for aortic dissection involving the aortic arch are acceptable. The hybrid aortic arch repair could promote thrombosis of the distal false lumen while excluding intimal tears in the aortic arch.
Relevance: Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is now indicated in patients with symptomatic severe aortic stenosis across the entire surgical risk spectrum. However, TAVR in pure native aortic insufficiency (AI) remains an off-label procedure, and surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) remains the gold standard. In younger...
