The Small Left Ventricle is an Important Predictor of Clinical Outcomes In Severe Aortic Stenosis
Abstract: Calcific aortic stenosis (AS) is the most common valvular heart disease requiring invasive intervention. While the implantation of an artificial heart valve restores normal intracardiac hemodynamics, baseline left ventricular (LV) parameters can significantly influence both early and long-term postoperative outcomes. It is well-established that patients with LV dilation experience worse outcomes after surgical or transcatheter treatment of... [...] Read more
3D Printed Prosthetic Heart Valve
Abstract: Heart valve replacements are life-saving procedures essential for patients with dysfunctional heart valves. The global market for prosthetic heart valves is valued at approximately USD 8.71 billion in 2024, with devices available in various forms, including mechanical, transcatheter, and biological valves used for both replacement and repair procedures. While traditional prosthetic valves have improved survival, they present several... [...] Read more
