An aortic annular abscess (aortic root abscess) can occur as a complication of aortic valve endocarditis and is more common on a prosthetic aortic valve. This is diagnosed predominantly on ...

“In pure AR patients, there is no aortic annulus or leaflet calcification for stable anchoring of a transcatheter heart valve,” explains Yingqiang Guo, a professor of cardiac surgery and vice ...

Young patients who have undergone the Ross procedure for aortic valve disease have shown excellent long-term survival, the majority without the need for additional surgery two decades later.

may occur due to damage to the aortic valve leaflets or as a result of dilation of the aortic annulus. As the disease progresses, symptoms of heart failure eventually occur. The definitive ...

The aortic dimensions were measured in twodimensional parasternal long axis views at the end of diastole in the views at four levels: aortic annulus (AO an), Valsalva's sinuses (AOsv), sinotubular ...

Importantly, the Medtronic CoreValve device, as well as a subcoronary anchor point at the aortic annulus, has a supra-coronary anchor point at the outflow of the device. This means the proximal ...

Shetty observed. “Risk factors for late autograft dysfunction include a dilated aortic annulus and ascending aorta.” “Stabilization of the aortic annulus and pulmonary autograft will improve the re ...

Thus, it is our practice to risk-stratify patients for coronary ostial compromise based on the aortic annular and SOV dimensions on CT imaging; a SOV diameter that exceeds the annular diameter is ...
