Summary
This bibliometric analysis identifies key publications shaping aortic valve replacement (AVR) practices. It highlights influential research, guiding future clinical focus in AVR.
Area of Science:
- Cardiology
- Cardiac Surgery

Background:
- Aortic valve replacement (AVR) is a critical procedure in managing valvular heart disease.
- Understanding the foundational literature is essential for advancing clinical practice.
Purpose of the Study:
- To identify and analyze the top 100 most cited publications in aortic valve replacement (AVR).
- To highlight key research areas and influential works that have shaped modern AVR practices.
Main Methods:
- Bibliometric analysis of 30,800 eligible papers sourced from the Web of Science database.
- Ranking and detailed analysis of the top 100 most cited manuscripts based on subject, author, journal, and publication year.
Main Results:
- The analysis encompassed 81,851 citations, with a mean of 819 citations per manuscript.
- The New England Journal of Medicine published the most manuscripts, while Circulation received the most citations.
- A significant increase in citations was observed for articles published after 2000.
Conclusions:
- This study provides a comprehensive overview of the most influential literature in aortic valve replacement (AVR).
- It serves as a valuable guide for researchers and clinicians interested in the evolution and key topics of AVR.

01:15Aortic Regurgitation I: Introduction
288
IntroductionAortic regurgitation is characterized by the backward flow of blood from the aorta into the left ventricle during diastole and arises from the improper closure of the aortic valve. This condition results in left ventricular volume overload and can stem from both acute and chronic etiologies, each contributing uniquely to the disease's progression and symptomatology.Acute and Chronic CausesAcute aortic regurgitation often results from events that suddenly impair the integrity of the...

225
Aortic regurgitation (AR) is when the aortic valve does not close or seal properly, leading to backward blood circulation from the aorta into the left ventricle during diastole. Common causes of AR include rheumatic heart disease, congenital valve defects, and aortic root dilation. Managing AR requires a multifaceted approach to alleviate symptoms, preserve left ventricular function, and address the underlying cause of the regurgitation. Patients with symptomatic AR or significant left...

The human heart is a complex organ with an intricate system of valves that regulate blood flow. There are two main types of valves: atrioventricular (AV) valves and semilunar valves.
The AV valves prevent the backflow of blood from the ventricles to the atria during ventricular contraction. These valves function with the assistance of the chordae tendineae and papillary muscles. When the ventricles are relaxed, the chordae tendineae are slack, allowing blood to flow from the atria into the...
