  2. 1. 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. 2. Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation: Risk Assessment and Clinical Outcome

    Author : Malin Johansson; Thoraxkirurgi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Key words: Aortic stenosis; transcatheter aortic valve implantation; outcome; acute kidney injury;

    Abstract : Abstract Background: Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has emerged as a treatment for patients with aortic stenosis (AS) and high surgical risk. To date, reports of short- and mid-term survival have been favourable. The aim of this thesis was to evaluate early safety, risk assessment and late survival following TAVI. READ MORE

  5. 3. Hope and life-struggle : patients' experiences with Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation

    Author : Karin Olsson; Åsa Hörnsten; Ulf Näslund; Jan Mårtensson; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Aortic stenosis; transcatheter aortic valve implantation; experiences; coping; decision-making; health-related quality of life; symptoms; function; omvårdnadsforskning med medicinsk inriktning; Caring Sciences;

    Abstract : The overall aim of this thesis is to explore experiences and self-reported outcomes from Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation, TAVI, among people with severe aortic stenosis. The thesis includes four studies. Study I-II are based on interviews performed the day before TAVI and Qualitative Concept Analysis was used for analysis. READ MORE

  6. 4. Survival and functional recovery following valve replacement in patients with severe aortic stenosis

    Author : Wenhong Ding; Michael Y Henein; Eugenio Picano; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Aortic stenosis; surgical aortic valve replacement; transcatheter aortic valve implantation; survival; predictor; echocardiography; speckle tracking; ventricular function; twist; strain; Cardiology; kardiologi;

    Abstract : Background: Aortic stenosis (AS) is the most common heart valve disease in Europe and North America. Age-related calcification of the valve is the commonest cause of acquired AS, especially in patients older than 70 years. READ MORE

  7. 5. Effect of valve replacement for aortic stenosis on ventricular function

    Author : Ying Zhao; Michael Henein; Per Lindqvist; Eugenio Picano; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Aortic stenosis; aortic valve replacement; echocardiography; speckle tracking; exercise echocardiography; ventricular function; septal radial motion; twist; displacement; strain; strain rate;

    Abstract : Background：Aortic stenosis (AS) is the commonest valve disease in the West. Aortic valve replacement (AVR) remains the only available management for AS and results in improved symptoms and recovery of ventricular functions. READ MORE
