AI Article Synopsis
- - Valve repair is now seen as a better option than replacement or the Ross procedure for kids and young adults, as it treats the entire aortic root rather than just specific valve issues
- - This newer holistic approach shows promising long-term results and helps avoid the problems that come with using prosthetic valves in younger patients
- - Advances in ideal patch materials and a deeper understanding of aortic root anatomy could further enhance the success rates of aortic valvuloplasty
Article Abstract
Valve repair in children and young adults is an attractive alternative to replacement or Ross procedure. In the past, the various valvuloplasty techniques have addressed isolated valve pathology. Recently, however, a holistic approach involving repair of all aortic root structures has evolved and promised to be an excellent alternative to valve replacement. It provides good long-term results and avoids all the drawback of prosthetic valve insertion in this age group. Development of ideal patch material needed for valve repair and better understanding of the anatomy and function of the aortic root may further improve the short- and long-term outcomes of aortic valvuloplasty.

Impella CP-Assisted Balloon Aortic Valvuloplasty in 2 High-Risk Patients.

Balloon aortic valvuloplasty (BAV) is a therapeutic option as palliative or bridging therapy in severe aortic stenosis, even though it is a risky procedure, especially in patients with concomitant left ventricular dysfunction. The use of percutaneous ventricular assist devices, such as the Impella CP, in this scenario provides optimal circulatory support and considerably reduces the risk of the procedure. Two patients with severe aortic stenosis and left ventricular dysfunction underwent BAV with the support of the Impella-CP.

A unicuspid aortic valve (UAV) in adults is a very rare form of aortic valve (AV) malformation. UAV has two distinct subtypes, acommissural UAV and unicommissural, and can be differentiated by anatomical features, imaging modalities, and clinical presentation. With the development of significant AV lesion (s), surgical or transcatheter intervention will be required.

Background: Computed tomography (CT) assessment is the standard for predicting coronary obstruction (CO) caused by sinus sequestration (SS) during transcatheter aortic valve (TAV) implantation in degenerated TAV (TAV-in-TAV) procedure, but it may not always be accurate. This report describes a prediction method for CO by using balloon aortic valvuloplasty (BAV) during TAV-in-TAV.
Case Summary: An 87-year-old woman with a history of balloon-expandable transcatheter heart valve (BE-THV) implantation 7 years prior was admitted with worsening dyspnoea.

Objectives: The objective of this study was to determine alterations in left atrial size, function, and determinants of left atrial reverse remodelling (LARR) after mitral valvuloplasty (MVP) in dogs with myxomatous mitral valve disease.
Animals: Thirty-seven dogs undergoing MVP were included in this study.
Materials And Methods: Echocardiographic parameters, including left atrial (LA) strain, were evaluated at baseline, during the early postoperative period (within two weeks), and at one and three months postoperatively.
