Transapical Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation with the J-Valve System in Aortic Regurgitation.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Aortic regurgitation (AR) is a condition associated with significant morbidity and mortality, particularly in severe cases. The J-Valve system, next-generation transcatheter heart valve, may overcome the procedural challenges associated with treating pure AR. This study reported the outcome of use of the J-Valve for treatment of AR.

Methods

This study observed 47 patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) with the J-Valve system. Diagnostic evaluation included transthoracic echocardiography and multislice computed tomography to assess AR severity and anatomic characteristics essential for TAVI. Follow-up evaluations were conducted at various intervals postoperation to evaluate outcomes.

Results

The patients had a mean age of 73.0 ± 9
