Does percutaneous transcatheter implantation of an aortic valve prosthesis improve hemodynamics and clinical status in patients with nonsurgical calcific aortic stenosis?
Selected patients with nonsurgical calcific aortic stenosis
Percutaneous transcatheter implantation of an aortic valve prosthesis (PHV)
Immediate and midterm hemodynamic and clinical improvement
This early report demonstrates the feasibility of percutaneous transcatheter aortic valve implantation, providing immediate and midterm hemodynamic and clinical improvement for patients with nonsurgical calcific aortic stenosis.
Nonsurgical implantation of a prosthetic heart valve can be successfully achieved with immediate and midterm hemodynamic and clinical improvement. After further device modifications, additional durability tests, and confirmatory clinical implantations, PHV might become an important therapeutic alternative for the treatment of selected patients with nonsurgical aortic stenosis.
