INTRODUCTION Degenerative valve disease is the most common cause of aortic regurgitation (AR) in Western country. These patients are good candidates to aortic valve repair (AVr), avoiding the long-term risks associated with prosthetic substitutes. METHODS We analyzed retrospectively all AVr procedures with geometric ring annuloplasty at our Division between…
AORTIC REGURGITATION INDEX IDENTIFIES SIGNIFICANT AORTIC REGURGITATION DURING IMPELLA SUPPORT FOR CARDIOGENIC SHOCK
Anno:
2024
Background Aortic regurgitation (AR) significantly hampers the unloading effect and the antegrade flow enhancement expected from the micro-axial flow pump Impella (Abiomed, Danvers). To date, no dedicated hemodynamic index is available to inform on the severity of AR during Impella support. Methods We included 100 patients receiving Impella support…
FIRST ITALIAN CASE OF TRANSCATHETER TREATMENT OF AORTIC REGURGITATION IN L-VAD PATIENT WITH A DEDICATED DEVICE
