Insights

This study details the first transcatheter treatment for severe aortic regurgitation in a patient with criss-cross heart disease. The minimally invasive procedure successfully eliminated regurgitation, significantly improving the patient's physical health.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Congenital Heart Disease
  • Interventional Cardiology

Background:

  • Severe aortic regurgitation poses significant risks.
  • Criss-cross heart is an extremely rare and complex congenital heart anomaly.
  • Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is an evolving treatment option.

Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System V: CT

Cardiac computed tomography (CT) scanning is an advanced cardiac imaging technique that utilizes CT technology, with or without intravenous (IV) contrast, to produce accurate cross-sectional virtual slices of specific areas of the heart, coronary circulation, and major blood vessels such as the aorta, pulmonary veins, and arteries. The computer processes these slices to generate three-dimensional images. Multidetector CT (MDCT) is a rapid form of CT scanning that captures multiple slices...

Cardiac Catheterization I: Pre-Procedure Overview

Cardiac catheterization is an invasive diagnostic technique used to identify and evaluate structural and functional diseases of the heart and major blood vessels. This technique diagnoses congenital heart disease, coronary artery disease, valvular heart disease, and coronary spasms and assesses ventricular function. It helps guide treatment decisions, including the need for revascularization procedures like percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and...
