    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transcatheter_aortic_valve...

    Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is the implantation of the aortic valve of the heart through the blood vessels without actual removal of the native valve (as opposed to the aortic valve replacement by open heart surgery, surgical aortic valve replacement, AVR). The first TAVI was performed on 16 April 2002 by Alain Cribier, which ...

  3. Aortic valve replacement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aortic_valve_replacement

    Aortic valve replacement. ICD-9-CM. 35.21 - 35.22 V43.3. [edit on Wikidata] Aortic valve replacement is a cardiac surgery procedure whereby a failing aortic valve is replaced with an artificial heart valve. The aortic valve may need to be replaced because of aortic regurgitation (back flow), or if the valve is narrowed by stenosis.

  4. Aortic stenosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aortic_stenosis

    Aortic valve repair or aortic valve reconstruction describes the reconstruction of both form and function of the native and dysfunctioning aortic valve. Most frequently it is applied for the treatment of aortic regurgitation. It can also become necessary for the treatment of an aortic aneurysm, less frequently for congenital aortic stenosis. [53]

    There is a high mortality rate if the individual does not undergo immediate surgery for aortic valve replacement. [9] Chronic aortic regurgitation If the individual survives the initial hemodynamic derailment that acute AR presents, the left ventricle adapts by its eccentric hypertrophy and dilatation with a subsequent compensated volume ...

  6. Open aortic surgery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_aortic_surgery

    A thoracoabdominal aortic repair is a more extensive operation than either an isolated infrarenal or thoracic aortic repair. OAS is distinct from aortic valve repair and aortic valve replacement, as OAS describes surgery of the aorta, rather than of the heart valves. When the aortic valve is diseased in addition to the ascending aorta, the ...

  7. Aortic dissection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aortic_dissection

    About 18% of individuals who present with an acute aortic dissection have a history of open-heart surgery. Individuals who have undergone aortic valve replacement for aortic insufficiency are at particularly high risk because aortic regurgitation causes increased blood flow in the ascending aorta. This can cause dilatation and weakening of the ...
