lüll Percutaneous aortic valve implantation: early clinical experience and future perspectives Dvir D; Assali A; Vaknin H; Sagie A; Shapira Y; Battler A; Porat E; Kornowski RIsr Med Assoc J 2009[Apr]; 11 (4): 244-9The incidence of aortic valve stenosis is growing rapidly in the elderly. Nonetheless, many symptomatic patients are not referred for surgery usually because of high surgical risk. Unfortunately, percutaneous balloon valvuloplasty is unsatisfactory due to high recurrence rates. In 2002, Cribier and colleagues were the first to describe percutaneous aortic valve implantation in a patient, opening a new era of aortic stenosis management. In the present review we report a patient treated by this novel method, discuss and assess how it is implanated, report the findings of studies conducted to date, and suggest future directions for percutaneous treatment of aortic valve disease.|*Aortic Valve/pathology[MESH]|*Heart Valve Prosthesis[MESH]|Aged, 80 and over[MESH]|Angioplasty, Balloon, Coronary/*methods[MESH]|Aortic Valve Stenosis/pathology/*surgery/therapy[MESH]|Catheterization[MESH]|Heart Valve Prosthesis Implantation/*methods[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Male[MESH]|Time Factors[MESH] |
