Key result
High-pressure water stream resection of human calcified aortic valves took a mean of 6.0 minutes at 150 bar, demonstrating feasibility for endoscopic cutting.
Why the study?
Is high-pressure water stream resection feasible and safe for endovascular resection of calcified aortic valves in an in vitro model?
Is high-pressure water stream resection feasible and safe for endovascular resection of calcified aortic valves in an in vitro model?
High-pressure water stream resection is a feasible auxiliary method for cutting calcified aortic valves endoscopically, though a debris-capturing device is required before clinical use.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Requires debris capture before clinical use; leaves open in vivo safety and endovascular translation.
Quaden et al. (2005) studied Calcified aortic valves (n=37). High-pressure water stream resection was evaluated on Resection time and tissue damage. High-pressure water stream resection of human calcified aortic valves took a mean of 6.0 minutes at 150 bar, demonstrating feasibility for endoscopic cutting.
