REVIEW
Jianhong Pan
Unicuspid aortic valve (UAV) is a rare congenital aortic valve anomaly. It has 2 subtypes and often is associated with aortic valve dysfunction and corresponding clinical presentations. Echocardiography is the first choice of diagnostic method for UAV. Three-dimensional echocardiography has played an increasingly important role in diagnosis, intraprocedural guidance, and post-procedural assessment in recent years. There remain challenges in distinguishing UAV from bicuspid aortic valve or tricuspid aortic valve...

In this report, we present a case study of an extremely rare left sinus Valsalva aneurysm (SVA) rupture into the left-ventricular myocardium. Acute ozone inhalation and long-term hypertension are possible contributors to the condition. Utilizing multimodal cardiovascular imaging techniques [echocardiogram, computed tomography (CT), and cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR)], a large, left-ventricular, intramural pseudoaneurysm (IPA) arising from the ruptured left SVA, was clearly observed anatomically and functionally...

We determined the occurrence of aortic regurgitation (AR), AR progression and risk factors in patients followed up for up to three decades after closure of subarterial VSD. We reviewed the outcomes of 86 patients categorized into three groups: group I comprised 37 patients without AR and had VSD closure alone, group II comprised 40 patients with AR and had VSD closure without aortic valvoplasty, and group III comprised 9 patients with AR and required both VSD closure and aortic valvoplasty. Patients were followed up for 18...

In transaortic (TAo) trasncatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI), direct transmission of forces to the stenotic aortic valve is possible. Therefore, the need of balloon aortic valvoplasty in TAo-TAVI may be very limited regarding the deliverability of TAVI prosthesis. However, if the TAVI prosthesis becomes undeliverable, it becomes seriously problematic. Herein, we present a case of TAo-TAVI in which the TAVI prosthesis was undeliverable, and it was forcefully pushed together with the introducer system into the aortic valve as a bailout technique...

Iatrogenic dissections of coronary artery and aorta is a rare and potentially fatal event, often following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The prognosis of patients often depends on early accurate diagnosis and timely and effective treatment. There are no definite guidelines for the treatment of acute coronary artery dissection caused by PCI. Here, we report a 50-year-old patient with iatrogenic dissection of the right coronary artery and type A aortic dissection who underwent PCI for chest pain. We performed emergency surgery of right coronary artery ostium repair, aortic valvoplasty, ascending aorta replacement, and aortic arch descending stent implantation for the patient...

Objective: There are conflicting data on choosing balloon aortic valvoplasty (BAV) or surgical aortic valvotomy (SAV) in neonates and infants requiring intervention for aortic valve stenosis. We aim to report the outcome of both techniques based on results from the UK national registry. Methods: This is a retrospective study, including all patients under 1 year undergoing BAV/SAV between 2000 and 2012. A modulated renewal approach was used to examine the effect of reinterventions on outcomes...

OBJECTIVES: Because data for neonates are limited, optimal management of critical aortic stenosis remains controversial (balloon valvotomy [BV] or open valvoplasty [OV]). In a center with balanced experience in both methods, we hypothesized that OV can provide a better individualized approach than blunt BV and better serve long-term outcomes. METHODS: A retrospective review of data and follow-up (survival, freedom from operation/replacement) of all neonates, suitable for biventricular repair, undergoing aortic valve procedure (1989-2015), was performed...

Pulmonary valve stenosis is common in patients with Noonan's syndrome. The response to balloon valvoplasty varies.We assessed the correlation between re-intervention rate, immediate response, and the progress of the valve gradient over time after intervention. METHODS: This is a retrospective study conducted from 1995 to 2014. RESULTS: Of 14 patients identified, seven had re-intervention 28±54 months (range 3-149, median 3.3) after valvoplasty. These patients did not have a significant decrease in gradient after intervention...

Scientific progress shall ultimately boost the current acceptance level for conservative aortic valve surgery. The present text aimed to report the 23-year long-term follow-up of one patient operated with bovine pericardium cusp extension. Growing confidence in the efficacy of the operation will allow a more expeditious indication for surgical treatment, as is already the case in mitral valve repair. This change of attitude will certainly make it possible for patients to be sent for operation in mild aortic valve regurgitation...

Familial hypercholesterolaemia (FH) is an autosomal dominant lipid disorder. Homozygous FH (HFH), though rare, presents in early childhood. Two different presentations of HFH are reported. The first child presented at 5 years of age with xanthomas on the knees, elbows and buttocks and failure to thrive since the second year of life. He was found to be hypertensive with moderate aortic regurgitation. He is now stable on statins and antihypertensives. The second child presented at 10 years of age with multiple xanthomas and severe aortic stenosis...

Percutaneous balloon aortic valvoplasty (BAV) and surgical aortic valvotomy (SAV) are palliative procedures in patients with non-critical congenital valve stenosis. The aim of the study was to evaluate long-term BAV and SAV results after up to 24 years of follow-up. From 1987 to 2013, 74 consecutive interventions were performed in patients with aortic stenosis, and 62 were included in the study (39 BAVs and 23 SAVs). Age of BAV patients was 1.3 months to 17 years, and of SAV patients 1.2 months to 15 years...

A 45-year-old man previously diagnosed with myxomatous mitral valve disease was admitted to our hospital with chest pain at rest and on effort. Contrast-enhanced CT revealed that the patient's right coronary artery originated from the left sinus Valsalva, which was compressed between the aortic and pulmonary roots. This anatomical abnormality can be associated with sudden death, syncope and chest pain. Ultrasonography showed mitral valve prolapse with severe regurgitation. Surgical repair was performed, which included coronary artery bypass graft and mitral valvoplasty with tricuspid annuloplasty...
