This can impact the valves making them too loose or too narrow, significantly restricting the heart from pumping the blood effectively. Stenosis and regurgitation are two main types of heart valve ...

With valve stenosis, the heart valve can become scarred and calcified, which causes narrowing of the valve. Stenosis happens most often in the aortic valve, but can occur in any of the heart’s four ...

In many of these heart problems, the pathway between the heart and the lungs becomes narrowed or blocked. The Iris Valve attempts to solve that problem. First of all, the valve can be folded to ...

Stenosis of the aortic or pulmonic valves will result in a systolic murmur as blood is ejected through the narrowed orifice. Conversely, regurgitation of the same valves will result in a diastolic ...

Transscatheter aortic valve replacement is a novel way to replace ... but other approaches can be used if the iliofemoral system is narrowed and heavily calcified. The transapical approach ...

Eightyseven-year-old Tara Chand (name changed) of Panchkula, who had undergone a non-surgical procedure for aortic valve replacement in 2024, remembers that he was rushed to the hospital in critical ...
