  2. 11. Clinical Outcomes of Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI)

    Author : Konrad Nilsson; Stefan James; Christina Christersson; Giovanna Sarno; Henrik Schirmer; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; transcatheter aortic valve implantation; aortic stenosis; clinical outcomes; risk prediction; geographical differences; coronary artery disease; Cardiology; Kardiologi;

    Abstract : Aortic stenosis (AS) is the most common valvular heart disease and most prevalent in the elderly. In the latest decades, a new method for replacement of the aortic valve: transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has been introduced. READ MORE

  4. 12. Aortic valvular flow : a clinical and experimental doppler echocardiographic study

    Author : Birgitta Janerot Sjöberg; Ihlen Halfdan; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : Aortic blood velocity determination by ultrasound Doppler is a safe and valuable tool when evaluating patients with heart disease. The time-course of the velocity signal can be used for detemnining left ventricular function. READ MORE

  5. 13. Cardiac Function and Aortic Valve Intervention : Echocardiographic Studies of Myocardial Recovery in Patients with Severe Aortic Valve Disease

    Author : Lena Forsberg; Eva Nylander; Éva Tamás; Odd Bech-Hanssen; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : In patients with severe aortic valve disease, aortic valve intervention is performed when the risk for mortality or morbidity with conservative management is significantly increased. Left ventricular (LV) longitudinal motion decreases before conventional echocardiographic measures such as ejection fraction, are influenced in patients with severe aortic valve disease. READ MORE

  6. 14. Advancing Endovascular Management of Thoracic Aortic Disease

    Author : William J. Yoon; Anders Wanhainen; Kevin Mani; Thomas Forbes; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Thoracic endovascular aortic repair; branched thoracic endograft; dissection specific stent graft; computational fluid dynamics; automated image analysis; Kirurgi; Surgery;

    Abstract : Despite technological advances and new endograft designs, endovascular treatment of the thoracic aorta still has important limitations. The aims of this thesis were to obtain further understanding on specific limitations in treating complex thoracic aortic pathologies with current technologies, to gain more insights into the hemodynamic consequences of thoracic endografting, and to explores the potential of deep learning algorithm-based automatic assessment of follow-up CTA imaging.
