Heart valve diseases are common disorders with five million annual diagnoses being made
in the United States alone. All heart valve disorders alter cardiac hemodynamic …

OBJECTIVES: Rapid deployment aortic valve replacement (AVR) has been developed to
facilitate minimally invasive approaches for cardiac surgery and shorten procedural times …

Background The implantation of rapid-deployment aortic valves may interfere with the
conduction system of the heart. This study evaluates the occurrence and predictive factors of …

Abstract OBJECTIVES The Edwards INTUITY Valve System is a balloon-expandable
bioprosthesis, inspired from the Edwards Magna valve and transcatheter technology, with a …

Sutureless or rapid deployment valves in the setting of aortic valve replacement (AVR) is an
emerging surgical technique using the transcatheter valve technology, which may lead to …

Background Aortic valve replacement in patients with a small aortic root is a matter of
concern in terms of prosthesis-patient mismatch. We evaluated the survival and …

Background The Edwards Intuity Valve System is a bioprosthesis with a balloon-expandable
stent frame which enables rapid-deployment (RD). We aimed to analyze our single-center …

OBJECTIVES Long-term durability of surgical bio-prostheses is a key factor, especially in the
era of transcatheter aortic valve replacement. We compared the incidence of structural valve …

OBJECTIVES Minimally invasive surgical techniques with optimal outcomes are of
paramount importance. Sutureless and rapid deployment aortic valves are increasingly …

The carotid artery is one of the most favorable locations for atherosclerotic plaque
accumulation due to its unique geometry. It predominantly occurs at the outer wall of the …
