Background: Three-dimensional aortic root evaluation using virtual reality (VR) techniques
for valve-sparing aortic root replacement (VSARR) preparation has not yet been …

Objectives: To evaluate applicability and safety feasibility of the virtual imaging technology
for diagnosis and planning of the aortic valve sparing procedure. Methods: Preoperative …

Background: Aortic root replacement (ARR) introduces several anatomic complexities
relevant to valve-in-valve (VIV)–transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) that may (1) …

Objective The optimal conduit for valve-sparing aortic root replacement is still debated, with
several conduit variations available, ranging from straight tubular grafts to Valsalva grafts …

Objective: Aortic valve reconstruction with three same-sized autologous pericardial leaflets
(ATLAS) has been performed for patients with narrow aortic roots or contraindication for …

Purpose To measure and explore complex cardiac anatomy in research and preoperative
simulation, a virtual imaging technology—the Vesalius 3D suite (PS Medtech, Amsterdam …

Materials and Methods Real time 3-dimensional echocardiographic data sets were acquired
on 8 normal patients (tricuspid n= 4 and BAV n= 4) with an iE-33 platform (Philips Medical …

Background Several conduit configurations, such as straight graft (SG), Valsalva graft (VG),
anticommissural plication (ACP), and the Stanford modification (SMOD) technique, have …

A 71-year-old woman had severe aortic stenosis (AS)(aortic valve area, 0.6 cm 2; mean
valve gradient, 47 mmHg; and peak velocity, 4.2 m/s) and cardiac symptoms. She had a …

Objectives: In the present study, the anatomy of the aortic root was assessed noninvasively
with multislice computed tomography (MSCT). Background: Transcatheter aortic valve …
