Valve prosthesis-patient mismatch: hemodynamic, echocardiographic and clinical consequences

2011

OBJECTIVES: The purpose is to evaluate in vivo at rest and under stress conditions hemodynamic performance of the small size St. Jude Medical Regent (SJMR) prosthetic valve in patients with a body surface area (BSA) of 1.8 ± 0.11 m(2) and to define the role of valve prosthesis- patient mismatch on left ventricular mass regression following aortic valve replacement. METHODS: We evaluated 25 cases (12 males and 13 females, mean age 65.2 ± 8 years) of aortic valve replacement (17 mm SJMR in three cases and 19 mm SJMR in 22 cases). All the patients underwent at rest Doppler echocardiography before and after surgery and both basal and dobutamine stress echocardiography (DSE) at follow-up. The me…

CRT-723 Is the Sporadic Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm the Result of an Inflammatory Process?

2014

Sporadic thoracic aortic aneurysm (S-TAA) is potentially devastating with severe morbidity and mortality. The histopathologic underlying abnormality of both ascending aortic aneurysm and dissection is medial degeneration, a pathological entity initially described as no inflammatory lesions of smooth
