    Successful rate: 92%. [1] 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 ...

    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.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aortic_stenosis

    If untreated, severe symptomatic aortic stenosis carries a poor prognosis, with a 2-year mortality rate of 50-60% and a 3-year survival rate of less than 30%. [63] Prognosis after aortic valve replacement for people younger than 65 is about five years less than that of the general population; for people older than 65 it is about the same.

  6. Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypertrophic_cardiomyopathy

    In individuals with aortic stenosis, after a premature ventricular contraction (PVC), the following ventricular contraction will be more forceful, and the pressure generated in the left ventricle will be higher. Because of the fixed obstruction that the stenotic aortic valve represents, the post-PVC ascending aortic pressure will increase as well.

  7. Hancock Aortic Tissue Valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hancock_Aortic_Tissue_Valve

    The Hancock Aortic Tissue Valve is a prosthetic heart valve used in cardiac surgery to replace a damaged or diseased aortic valve. [1] It is a bioprosthetic valve, meaning it is constructed using biological tissues, specifically porcine (pig) valve tissue. [2] This valve is widely utilized in the field of cardiovascular surgery to restore ...
