Aortic regurgitation (AR) after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is associated with an increased risk of mortality. In severe cases, abrupt hemodynamic changes may occur with a sudden increase in left ventricular end-diastolic pressure that results in frank pulmonary edema, hypoxia, and
BACKGROUND
Acute aortic dissection is a cardiovascular emergency with high mortality that necessitates prompt diagnosis and immediate treatment. Though asymmetric extremity pulses/blood pressures and mediastinal widening on chest roentgenogram are often clues to diagnosis, aortic regurgitation (AR)
Introduction. Unruptured sinus of valsalva aneurysm (SVA) is a rare congenital anomaly, particularly, when it coexists with a ventricular septal defect (VSD) and aortic regurgitation due to the prolapse of the elongated aortic cusp into the VSD. In this report, we present the case of a 19-year-old
A 63-year-old man with cough and shortness of breath was diagnosed to have active infective endocarditis resulting in acute pulmonary edema with aortic regurgitation caused by a huge vegetation on the noncoronary cusp and left ventricular-right atrial (LV-RA) communication which were demonstrated by
A 42-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital because of anterior chest discomfort on exercise. She had already been diagnosed as having a complete form of Behçet's disease. On auscultation, there was a grade 2/6 diastolic regurgitant murmur along the left sternal border. Echocardiogram and pulse
We report a successful surgical case with Turner's syndrome associated with partial anomalous pulmonary venous return (PAPVR) complicated by aortic dissection and aortic regurgitation without coarctation of the aorta. The patient, a 30-year-old woman, is of a short stature who was diagnosed with
Aortic regurgitation (AR) is characterized by the backflow of blood from the aorta to the left ventricle. Acute AR typically causes severe pulmonary edema and hypotension, and is a surgical emergency. In chronic AR, however, compensatory mechanisms can clinically compensate for years, with normal
Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is not currently approved for pure native valve aortic incompetence, and is typically performed on a compassionate basis in selected patients who are at high risk for conventional surgery. We describe the first use of TAVR to treat iatrogenic severe
A 56-year-old man with a failing aortic prothesis involving aortic insufficiency and with a dissecting aneurysm of the aortic cross, developed a unilateral pulmonary edema. Although radiological literature often describes this phenomenon, it is sometimes mis-diagnosed in medical clinics. The
Valvular heart disease in a parturient presenting for Cesarean section is challenging. A 25 year old primigravida parturient with severe mitral stenosis, mild mitral regurgitation, mild aortic regurgitation, and mild pulmonary arterial hypertension required Cesarean delivery after developing
BACKGROUND
There is a worldwide trend towards a more liberal use of ventricular assist devices (VADs) as a definitive treatment for patients in end-stage heart failure. This has also led to a new set of complications related to the prolonged interaction between the native heart and the
Out of 160 prospectively followed patients with aortic regurgitation, the clinical courses of 53 patients with pure, severe, and chronic aortic regurgitation and without coronary artery disease who were selected for surgery on the basis of predefined criteria is discussed. Surgical criteria were
Re-expansion Pulmonary Edema (REPE) is a recognized but rare complication of lung re-inflation after pathologic collapse or intentional deflation. The presentation of REPE may be highly variable, ranging from a clinically asymptomatic, incidental radiologic finding to acute respiratory failure
