Calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD) is featured by thickening and calcification of the aortic valve. Osteoblast differentiation is a crucial step in valve calcification. Long non-coding RNAs (LncRNAs) participate in the osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal cells. However, the character of lncRNA FGD5 antisense RNA 1 (FGD5-AS1) in CAVD is uncertain. After collection of human aortic valve tissue samples, detection of FGD5-AS1, microRNA (miR)-497-5p and Baculovirus inhibitor 5 (BIRC5) was conducted. Valve mesenchymal cells were isolated from CAVD patients and induced to differentiate to osteoblasts, and transfected with FGD5-AS1, miR-497-5p and BIRC5 plasmids. Detection of the alkaline phosphatase activity was after osteogenic induction of human aortic valve interstitial cells (hAVICs); Detection of the degree of calcium nodules and osteoblast differentiation markers (RUNX2 and OPN) was conducted. After establishment of a mouse model of CAVD, detection of the thickness of aortic valve leaflets, and the degree of calcification of the valve leaflets, and evaluation of echocardiographic parameters were implemented. Experimental data manifested in CAVD patients, lncRNAFGD5-AS1 and BIRC5 were reduced, but miR-497-5p was elevated; Enhancing lncRNA FGD5-AS1 or repressing miR-497-5p mitigated CAVD by restraining osteogenic differentiation; LncRNA FGD5-AS1 sponged miR-497-5p to target BIRC5; Repressive BIRC5 turned around the therapeutic action of elevated FGD5-AS1 or depressed miR-497-5p on hAVICs; Enhancive FGD5-AS1 in vivo was available to reduce ApoE-/- mouse CAVD induced via high cholesterol diet. All in all, lncRNAFGD5-AS1 targets BIRC5 via miR-497-5p to alleviate CAVD.

Fracture properties of porcine versus human thoracic aortas from tricuspid/bicuspid aortic valve patients via symmetry-constraint Compact Tension testing.

Aneurysm rupture is a life-threatening event, yet its underlying mechanisms remain largely unclear. This study investigated the fracture properties of the thoracic aneurysmatic aorta (TAA) using the symmetry-constraint Compact Tension (symconCT) test and compared results to native and enzymatic-treated porcine aortas' tests. With age, the aortic stiffness increased, and tissues ruptured at lower fracture energy [Formula: see text].

Introduction: Calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD) is increasingly prevalent among the aging population, and there is a notable lack of drug therapies. Consequently, identifying novel drug targets will be of utmost importance. Given that type 2 diabetes is an important risk factor for CAVD, we identified key genes associated with diabetes - related CAVD via various bioinformatics methods, which provide further potential molecular targets for CAVD with diabetes.

Background: Transcatheter edge-to-edge mitral valve repair (M-TEER) using the MitraClip system is primarily performed using the transfemoral approach. However, when this approach is not feasible, the transjugular approach can be used as an alternative.

Aortic dissection (AoD) is a rare fatal condition in which tearing in the intima causes a false channel in the aorta and can lead to rupture. AoD is classified as the DeBakey classification (Types I, II, III) and Stanford classification (Types A and B). Women with underlying risk factors such as hypertension, smoking, bicuspid aortic valve, and connective tissue disorders are at risk for pregnancy-related AoD.

Background: Vascular and bleeding complications remain a concern after transfemoral transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). The impact of the sheath type on these complications remains unclear.
Methods: The prospective MARVEL registry study analyzed enrolled 500 patients undergoing large-bore transfemoral procedures and arteriotomy closure with the MANTA vascular closure device from 10 hospitals in Europe and Canada.
