This marks the first dedicated transcatheter heart valve approved for high-risk patients with symptomatic severe AR.

At 10 years, early surgery continues to have a mortality benefit when compared with conservative care for asymptomatic aortic ...

Additional analysis from the SMall Annuli Randomized To Evolut or SAPIEN (SMART) study demonstrated clinical non-inferiority of self-expanding valves (SEV) versus balloon-expandable valves (BEV) in ...

Early valve replacement surgery for very severe asymptomatic aortic stenosis was tied to lower long-term mortality risk ...

The FDA approved the Trilogy Transcatheter Heart Valve System for the treatment of symptomatic severe aortic regurgitation, ...

Your aortic valve is part of your heart, a strong muscle that pumps blood through your body. The aortic valve controls the blood flowing out from the heart. It opens every time your heart contracts, ...

The new system offers surgeons a larger coronary access window and increased space to facilitate access to a patient’s coronary arteries. This leads to lower mortality rates, lower stroke rates and ...

A bicuspid aortic valve may present few problems throughout your life. But you’ll still need to live a heart-healthy lifestyle and monitor your cardiovascular system to prevent complications. The ...

IABP systems are typically inserted within the multidisciplinary environment that is the cardiac catheterization laboratory. The specific role of the physiologist during IABP insertion is to ensure ...

A bicuspid aortic valve is a congenital heart condition that can sometimes make it harder for the heart to pump blood to meet the body’s needs. The aortic valve is one of the four valves in the heart.

An aortic stenosis murmur is an unusual sound the heart makes due to a narrowing of the aortic heart valve. The narrowed heart valve restricts blood flow from the heart, which can create a murmur.
