“In pure AR patients, there is no aortic annulus or leaflet calcification for stable anchoring of a transcatheter heart valve,” explains Yingqiang Guo, a professor of cardiac surgery and vice ...

There are three main forms of aortic valve disease: congenital abnormalities, such as a bicuspid valve that leads to premature calcification; calcification of the normal trileaflet valve ...

DAVID MONTGOMERY: Aortic stenosis is a tightening of one of the four major valves of the heart. The aortic valve is particularly important because the aortic valve is the gateway to the rest of ...
