Patients who underwent transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) with a valve designed to treat aortic regurgitation had an overall mortality rate of just 8.1% at one year, well below the trial's ...

A device in clinical development appears to be far safer and more effective than the TAVI devices currently being used ...

Cardiology experts from UCSF Health presented new research and clinical findings at the American College of Cardiology’s (ACC) 74th Annual Scientific Session and Expo in Chicago, March 29-31.

As your heart beats, it pumps blood from the left ventricle through the aortic valve and into the aorta, your body’s largest artery. The aortic valve is made up of three triangular flaps of ...

Medtronic has reported late-breaking data from the randomised Evolut Low Risk Trial’s five-year outcomes of the Evolut transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) system in low-risk aortic stenosis ...

Patients who underwent transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) with a valve designed to treat aortic regurgitation had an overall mortality rate of just 8.1% at one year, well below the ...

However, as the disease progresses the peak moves to later in systole since longer time is required to complete LV systole and aortic valve closure is delayed. The intensity of the murmur ...

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 ...

Antegrade cannulae are designed to deliver cardioplegia solution to the heart via the coronary ostia in the normal direction of blood flow (antegrade perfusion). Medtronic offers both aortic root ...
