We advocate the use of it for elderly patients with small aortic annulus in which surgical or transcatheter valve replacement, valve reconstruction could be extremely difficult or unavailable and consider ultrasonic valve decalcification as an additional tool in cardiac ...

degree of valve calcification is a predictor of clinical outcome including heart failure, need for aortic valve replacement and death.5,8 Radiation induced aortic stenosis represents a special challenge as the aortic valve is often heavily calcified in a younger population making the assessment of aortic valve morphology and LVOT diameter ...

Aortic stenosis is a disease characterized by calcification and thickening of the aortic valve. This results in a decreased orifice valve area and a narrowing of the opening ... with severe aortic stenosis, the valve cusps do not fully open (Figure 3). There is a higher jet velocity of blood flow through the narrowed valve. A high pressure gradient
Aortic Valve Repair in Neonates
sure is developed the valve is usually functionally unicuspid however in majority of cases can be bicuspidized (Figs. 3-5) (video 3). The opening of the valve, the mobility of the cusps and the geometry is assessed. Correctly performed “shaving” greatly improves the mobility of the cusps and the effective orifice area of the aortic valve.

The aortic valve is a tri-leaflet valve composed of three cusps without a true fibrous skeleton. Aortic valve cusps are made up of a fibrous core with an endothelial lining. Each aortic valve cusp has a basilar attachment to the ventricular myocardium in the LVOT. Together, the outline of the valve leaflets
Clinical and Pathophysiological Implications of a Bicuspid Aortic Valve
A, Normal tricuspid aortic valve. The cusps (arrow-heads) and the 3 commissures (arrows) are clearly seen. Three sinuses of Valsalva are also seen. The cusps coapt normally to give a functionally normal valve. B, Congenitally bicuspid aortic valve, with one cusp larger (asterisk) than the other. The cusps show thickening due to fibrosis.

of the body of the cusps. Rheumatic aortic valve disease is almost never seen in the absence of mitral stenosis (MS) ( 4). The commonest cause of AS in the UK is age-related calcic degeneration of the valve, which is characterized by progressive thickening, brosis and calcication of the aortic cusps. Such patients often display an abundance

Calcific aortic valve stenosis is characterized by a progressive fibro-calcific remodeling and thickening of the aortic valve cusps, which subsequently leads to valve obstruction. The underlying ...

focal leaflet thickening with normal valve function, is termed aortic valve sclerosis, but it is likely that the initiating events in the disease process occur much earlier. Disease progres- ... ically by large nodular calcific masses within the aortic cusps that protrude along the aortic surface into the sinuses of Valsalva, interfering with ...

nearly 2 billion times. Proper sealing of the aortic valve leaflets ensures the unidirectional flow of blood from the left ventricle into the aorta. Alterations in valve leaflet homeostasis, due to congenital morphological anomalies such as bicuspid aortic valve (BAV), or the chronic pro-gression of stiffening, thickening, and calcification, cause

Calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD) is the most common form of heart valve disease, affecting over 50 % of the population >75 years of age [16]. Approximately 2 % of this elderly population suffers from severe stenosis, a diag-nosis requiring valve replacement. Calcification within the cusps initiates in the form of nodules which narrow the ori-
