Immediate results of transcatheter aortic valve implantation.

Objective: Aim: To assess, analyze and present early postoperative results of transcatheter aortic valve implantation in patients with aortic stenosis.

Patients And Methods: Materials and Methods: During the period from 2017 to 2023, we examined in total 77 patients with severe aortic stenosis and high risk of surgery who were eligible for the TAVI procedure at the "Heart Institute Ministry of Health of Ukraine".

Results: Results: Before implantation, the mean and maximum aortic valve gradients were 53.

Comparative analysis of early postoperative results of transcatheter aortic valve implantation and surgical aortic valve replacement with a biological prosthesis.

Objective: . Aim: The choice of aortic valve stenosis correction method is determined by a number of clinical and technical parameters. The task was to compare early postoperative outcomes in patients after correction of aortic valve stenosis using TAVI and surgical aortic valve replacement with a biological prosthesis.

Perfusion education and training in Europe anno 2023.

In the absence of uniform European regulations, there have been many differences in the training of perfusionists across Europe. Furthermore, there has been no uniform or single European accreditation of the profession. One of the objectives of The European Board of Cardiovascular Perfusion (EBCP) is to standardise and monitor training of perfusionists across Europe whilst offering support in accordance with national regulations.

Isolated giant aortic arch aneurysm repair in a 13-year-old girl: a case report.

Background: Aortic arch aneurysm is a very rare condition in children. Surgery is the life saving procedure but it performing might be challenging due to the complex anatomy.

Case Presentation: We describe a 13-year-old girl who was diagnosed to have an isolated giant aortic arch aneurysm.

FIRST EXPERIENCE WITH OCCLUTECH PLD OCCLUDER TO CLOSE PARAVALVULAR LEAKS PROSTHETICS OF THE MITRAL VALVE. CASE REPORT.

This clinical case presents the results of using the Occlutech PLD occluder for transcatheter closure of a paravalvular leak (PVL) via a transapical approach in the remote period after mitral valve prosthetics. According to our results and to the literature, the procedure for closing the PVL of the mitral valve from a transapi¬cal approach using a special Occlutech PLD occluder is characterized by relative safety for patients, clinical effectiveness in terms of eliminating or reducing the degree of regurgitation and related symptoms.

Transcatheter aortic valve implantation in a patient with mitral valve replacement and tricuspid valve repair.

Unlabelled: Aortic valve stenosis occurs in about 3% of people over 65. It is the most important heart valve disease in developed countries. Pathogenesis includes processes similar to those in atherosclerosis, including lipid accumulation, inflammation and calcification.
