Aortic stenosis (AS or AoS) is the narrowing of the exit of the left ventricle of the heart (where the aorta begins), such that problems result. [1] It may occur at the aortic valve as well as above and below this level. [1] It typically gets worse over time. [1] Symptoms often come on gradually with a decreased ability to exercise often ...
Fluoroscopic image of an aorta affected by Leriche's syndrome. In medicine, aortoiliac occlusive disease is a form of central artery disease involving the blockage of the abdominal aorta as it transitions into the common iliac arteries.
Inferior vena cava syndrome (IVCS) is a very rare constellation of symptoms resulting from either obstruction or stenosis of the inferior vena cava.It can be caused by physical invasion or compression by a pathological process, or by thrombosis within the vein itself.
A vein from the leg is removed and grafted to the coronary artery to bypass a blockage at LAD. Coronary artery bypass surgery during mobilization (freeing) of the right coronary artery from its surrounding adipose tissue (yellow). The tube visible at the bottom is the aortic cannula, which returns blood from the heart–lung machine.
Aortic valve stenosis is the most common cause of LVOTO. Aortic valve stenosis means the aortic valve has narrowed and is not opening freely. The aortic valve opens to allow blood to flow from the left ventricle to the aorta. Stenosis here leads to a narrowing of the passage for blood to flow out of the left ventricle, thus a LVOTO.
Dr. Jeremy London is a heart surgeon and a heart attack survivor. He operates on diseased hearts, but like many people, he ignored his own symptoms of a coronary artery blockage until it became an ...
