Aortic stenosis is a condition affecting the aortic valve—the valve positioned between the heart’s main pumping chamber and the aorta—causing it to narrow, or become stenotic. As one of the most ...

A study presented at the 2025 Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS) Annual Meeting reveals that mechanical aortic valve ...

While the first innovators in the area of minimally invasive cardiac procedures began introducing methods such as finger-fracture valvuloplasty as early as the 1920s — in the case of England’s Henry ...

Five-year data from the PARTNER 3 trial showed that among low-risk patients with severe, symptomatic aortic stenosis, outcomes were similar among patients who had undergone transcatheter aortic-valve ...

After bioprosthetic aortic valve replacement, patients who took the oral drug warfarin had better outcomes including lower mortality rates and fewer blood clots, according to new research from ...

Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is a minimally invasive procedure to replace your aortic valve. The aortic valve controls blood flow from your heart to your aorta, the main artery that ...

For all the innovation, engineering, and miniaturization that has helped to refine surgical and transcatheter aortic valve replacement over the last few decades, they still fall short of ideal. That ...

Transcatheter heart valve repair and replacement have reshaped how structural heart disease is treated, and the market is ...

The aortic valve sits between the heart’s left ventricle and the aorta. It opens and closes with the heartbeat to allow blood to flow to the body without leaking back into the heart. It may need to be ...

Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is a congenital heart condition. It occurs when the aortic valve has two cusps instead of the three. BAV can lead to serious complications. Several treatment options can ...
