The purpose of this analysis was to study agreement and trending of stroke volume measured by oesophageal Doppler and 3rd generation Vigileo during fluid loads in patients with severe aortic stenosis. Observational study in 32 patients (30 analyzed) scheduled for aortic valve replacement due to severe aortic stenosis. After induction of anesthesia and before start of surgery, hemodynamic registrations for 1 min were obtained before and after a fluid load. Agreement between stroke volume measured by oesophageal Doppler (SVOD) and Vigileo (SVVig) was evaluated in Bland-Altman plot and trending in four-quadrant and polar plots. Bias ± limits of agreement (LOA) between SVOD and SVVig was 24 ± 37 ml (percentage error 45%). Concordance of the two methods from before to after a fluid load was 100%. Angular bias ± LOA was 12° ± 28°. Absolute values of SVOD and SVVig agreed poorly, but changes were highly concordant during fluid loads in aortic stenosis patients. The angular agreement indicated acceptable trending. The two measurement methods are not interchangeable in patients with aortic stenosis.

Diabetes mellitus (DM) increases the risk of aortic stenosis (AS) and worsens its pathophysiology in a sex-specific manner. Aldosterone/mineralocorticoid receptor (Aldo/MR) pathway participates in early stages of AS and in other diabetic-related cardiovascular complications. We aim to identify new sex-specific Aldo/MR targets in AS complicated with DM.

Background: Timing of treatment of aortic stenosis (AS) is of key importance. AS severity is currently determined by transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) with a main focus on mean trans-aortic gradients. However, echocardiography has its limitations.

Background: The long-term valve durability of supra-annular self-expanding valves (SEV) and intra-annular balloon-expandable valves (BEV) in patients with small aortic annuli remains unexplored.

Aims: This study aimed to determine the long-term bioprosthetic valve durability with SEV versus BEV in patients with small aortic annuli.

Methods: This retrospective study included patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS) and an aortic annulus area of 430 mm or less who underwent transcatheter aortic valve replacement using SEV and BEV between October 2009 and December 2022.

Background: Takayasu arteritis (TA) affects medium and large caliber arteries causing stenosis, occlusion, or aneurysms. It has great predilection for the aortic arch, subclavian and extracranial arteries. The global prevalence is of 1% to 2% per million inhabitants, which varies by geographical region.
