A modern approach to aortic valve insufficiency: Aortic root restoration via HAART 300 internal annuloplasty ring
Abstract Background and aim of the study: HAART 300 is an internal geometric annuloplasty ring. The safety and efficacy of this novel device in aortic valve (AV) repair in a single referral center are reported. Methods: Twenty patients with trileaflet AV insufficiency with ascending aorta and/or aortic root enlargement were included. Subannular implantation was performed to correct annular ...

Video: Heart Transplant Recipient Marcus Jones
Watch the inspiring story of heart transplant recipient Marcus Jones. A devoted father and husband, Marcus Jones never imagined that his heart could threaten to limit his time with loved ones and cut his life short. Yet that’s exactly what happened after Marcus experienced a second aortic aneurysm, and, six months later, was well into biventricular failure. According to his wife, Cathy, ...

An introduction to Congenital Heart Defects
An estimated 2.4 million American children and adults are currently living with congenital heart defects (CHDs). Learn more about different types of CHDs, causes and treatment options. Learning that your child has a CHD can be a scary and overwhelming experience, but it’s important to know that you’re not alone. Nearly 40,000 infants in the U.S. are born each year with CHDs, and ...

Leaflet Dimensions as a Guide to Remodeling Annuloplasty During Aortic Valve Repair
Abstract Objective: In chronic aortic insufficiency (AI), the method and degree of annular downsizing required to achieve durable coaptation in aortic valve repair (AVr) remains poorly defined. This study evaluated the relationship between leaflet size and annular diameter to predict adequate annular sizing in remodeling AVr. Methods: Under regulatory supervision, 74 patients with chronic ...

A Revolution of EVAR Imaging Technologies
Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) has dramatically evolved over the past 2 decades—from relatively simple tubular endografts to extraordinarily complex branched endografts that allow endovascular coverage from the sinotubular junction through the iliac bifurcation. With this increasing complexity of repairs, parallel improvements in imaging and navigation technologies have ensued. These ...
