2. Transcatheter aortic valve replacement - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transcatheter_aortic_valve...

   In elderly patients the prostheses should outlive the patient. The 2021 review suggested that in younger patients (with longer average life expectancy) choosing TAVI might still be premature, due to the increased likelihood of the need for future re-operation with worse prognostic impact. [27]

3. Aortic valve replacement - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aortic_valve_replacement

   The patient is put on a cardiopulmonary bypass machine, also known as the heart–lung machine. This machine breathes for the patient and pumps their blood around their body while the surgeon replaces the heart valve. [citation needed] Once on cardiopulmonary bypass, the patient's heart is stopped (cardioplegia). This can be done with a Y-type ...

4. Catheter ablation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catheter_ablation

   After 12 months, participants receiving catheter ablation were more likely to be free of atrial fibrillation, and less likely to need cardioversion. However, the evidence quality ranged from moderate to very low [ 4 ] A 2006 study, including both paroxysmal and non-paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, found that the success rates are 28% for single ...

5. Artificial heart valve - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_heart_valve

   An artificial heart valve is a one-way valve implanted into a person's heart to replace a heart valve that is not functioning properly (valvular heart disease).Artificial heart valves can be separated into three broad classes: mechanical heart valves, bioprosthetic tissue valves and engineered tissue valves.

6. Aortic stenosis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aortic_stenosis

   While Surgical AVR has remained the most effective treatment for this disease process and is currently recommended for patients after the onset of symptoms, as of 2016 aortic valve replacement approaches included open-heart surgery, minimally invasive cardiac surgery (MICS), and minimally invasive catheter-based (percutaneous) aortic valve ...

7. Atrial fibrillation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atrial_fibrillation

   Fatty infiltration helps explain why obesity is a risk factor for atrial fibrillation in one fifth of patients. [63] Atrial fibrillation increases the risk of heart failure by 11 per 1000, kidney problems by 6 per 1000, death by 4 per 1000, stroke by 3 per 1000, and coronary heart disease by 1 per 1000. [162]
