Coronary ostial stenosis after surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) is a rare but potentially fatal complication. Surgeons must have a high level of vigilance regarding the presentation of acute myocardial ischemi...
Introduction: Current echocardiographic parameters have a limitation in assessing mitral valve (MV)apparatus in rheumatic mitral stenosis (MS) patient. In the current study, we use 2 dimensional (2D)longitudinal strai...
Introduction: Degenerative aortic stenosis is the most common valvulopathy in developed countries. The implantation of a percutaneous aortic valve (TAVI) has taken an important place in the management of this valvulop...
Background: LAA is the major site of thrombus formation in mitral stenosis;active LAA blood flow and contractile function may be disturbed in MS. TEE?is the modality of choice for evaluating LAA and Speckle-tracking?e...
Background: The Gorlin equation is the reference method for the assessment of aortic valve area in aortic stenosis and is calculated using a constant, called the coefficient of contraction, which is empirically assume...
Objective: we sought to compare long-term results of three techniques: CMC, OMC and PMC in patients with rheumatic mitral stenosis. Patients and Method: Between January 1994 and December 2015, 183 patients underwent m...
Background: The association of right coronary artery (RCA) stenosis in patients undergoing myocardial revascularization for left main coronary artery (LMCA) stenosis affects the prognosis. This study aimed to compare ...
We are reporting four cases of acquired double orifice mitral valve (DOMV) of rheumatic etiology (rare) presenting as significant mitral stenosis (MS) treated successfully by percutaneous intervention. All four patien...
The coronary arteries diseases are one of the most causes of mortality and morbidity worldwide, particularly in the developing countries. Coronary obstructions are generally described by location and severity of steno...
Background and Purpose: Carotid atherosclerosis has been recognized as a major cause of stroke. The cur-rent study aimed to describe the effect of multiplicity rather than the type of vascular risk factors on severity...
