approaches in isolated aortic regurgitation (AR). Patients and Methods Consecutive patients …

Background For patients with aortic regurgitation (AR), aortic valve (AV) repair represents an
attractive alternative to AV replacement (AVR), because it does not expose patients to the …

Objectives The objectives were to analyze the long-term outcomes of tricuspid aortic valve
repair for isolated severe aortic regurgitation and the impact of different annuloplasty …

Background This study was performed to determine cusp causes of aortic regurgitation in
patients with tricuspid aortic valves without significant aortic dilatation and define cusp …

Objectives This study sought to summarize available evidence on transcatheter aortic valve
replacement (TAVR) for the treatment of native pure aortic regurgitation (AR). Background …

Aortic regurgitation (AR) has an estimated prevalence of 4.9% in the Framingham study, with
moderate or severe AR occurring in 0.5% of the study population. The incidence and …

Background: Aortic valve repair was established in the context of aortic root remodeling.
Variable results have been reported for isolated valve repair. We analyzed our experience …

Aortic valve repair is a new development with old roots. In the past 20 years, marked
progress has been made in understanding the normal anatomy of the aortic valve and the …

Background Patients with pure native aortic regurgitation (AR) have been excluded from
