To assess the impact of regurgitant jet direction on left ventricular function and intraventricular hemodynamics in asymptomatic patients with bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) and mild aortic valve regurgitation (AR), using...
The personalized external aortic root support procedure: interesting niche or ready for prime time?
Source : https://heart.bmj.com/content/early/2021/08/26/heartjnl-2021-319790.abstract
Aortic root dilation is nearly universal among patients with Marfan syndrome (MFS) and many patients require aortic root replacement to prevent devastating aortic catastrophe. This has traditionally entailed placement of...
