Prosthesis‐patient mismatch (PPM) associated with aortic valve replacement, especially of aortic stenosis, is a common problem. Severe PPM is known to increase perioperative morbidity and mortality and to negatively affect late survival. Surgical enlargement of the narrow aortic root enlargement (ARE) is now increasingly accepted as a method of fac...

Background: The St. Jude Trifecta valve is a latest generation bioprosthetic designed for supra annular aortic placement. The study main objective is the evaluation of the hemodynamic valve performance and the 3 to 72 months post implantation clinical status of the patients. Method and materials: Cohort study on patients older than 18 years, under...
Aim of the study:
The aim of this study was to perform a comparative analysis of severity of discordant aortic stenosis (AS) assessment using multiposition scanning and the standard apical window.
Materials and methods:
All patients (n = 104) underwent preoperative transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) and were ranked according to the degree of A...
Background:
Asian patients have smaller aortic annuli. Although 20-mm balloon-expandable (BE) transcatheter heart valves (THV) are manufactured for transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) in these cases, the supra-annular design of self-expandable (SE) THV is considered more suitable; however, real-world comparative data are scarce.Methods...
The impact that post-dilatation has on the risk of experiencing conduction disorders after post-transcatheter aortic valve replacement with self-expanding valves (SE-TAVR) is unclear. We compared the rate of developing an atrioventricular (AV) high-grade conduction disorder and permanent pacemaker implantation (PPI) in post-TAVR patients undergoing...
Background:
The long-term performance of prostheses in the small aortic root is still unclear.
Methods:
Patients who received a 21 mm or smaller aortic valve between 2000-2018 were retrospectively analyzed. Propensity matching was used in order to account for baseline differences in 19 mm vs. 21 mm valve subgroups.
Results:
Survival at 10 year...
