There is currently no way to stop calcification of the aortic valve. If all else fails, the valve must be replaced. To better understand the development of this common disease, researchers from Bochum ...

RATES of permanent pacemaker implantation (PPI) exceed 20% in patients with aortic regurgitation (AR). A new retrospective ...

Patients received a new treatment for heart valve disease, which did not require riskier open-heart surgery or travel to London. Five people from Cambridgeshire, Essex, Hertfordshire, Peterborough and ...

Aortic regurgitation means one of your heart’s valves is leaky. Learn what can cause it, the symptoms, and how to treat it.

In that surgery, called transcatheter aortic valve replacement, or TAVR, cardiologists insert a replacement valve through a patient’s groin and thread it all the way to the heart.

LOS ANGELES -- Survival outcomes favored mechanical valves for isolated surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) for people until age 60, after which a tissue valve may start to have an advantage ...

Edwards Lifesciences announced the FDA approved its transcatheter aortic valve replacement platform for treatment of severe asymptomatic aortic stenosis, the first in this patient population ...

Permanent pacemaker rates were nearly 18% at 30 days but came down as sites gained experience with the new device.

Joanne said: “ Aortic regurgitation means the aortic valve does not close fully and the blood can leak back into the heart instead of forwards into the body.

Early surgical or transcatheter aortic valve replacement is not typically recommended for severe aortic stenosis in the absence of symptoms, but some now argue that cumulative evidence warrants a ...

A novel therapeutic showed significant promise in slowing aortic valve calcification, potentially extending time until or eliminating need for transcatheter or surgical intervention for stenosis ...
