1. Hope and life-struggle : patients' experiences with Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation
Sammanfattning : The overall aim of this thesis is to explore experiences and self-reported outcomes from Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation, TAVI, among people with severe aortic stenosis. The thesis includes four studies. Study I-II are based on interviews performed the day before TAVI and Qualitative Concept Analysis was used for analysis. LÄS MER
2. Clinical Outcomes of Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI)
Sammanfattning : Aortic stenosis (AS) is the most common valvular heart disease and most prevalent in the elderly. In the latest decades, a new method for replacement of the aortic valve: transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has been introduced. LÄS MER
3. Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation: Risk Assessment and Clinical Outcome
Sammanfattning : Abstract Background: Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has emerged as a treatment for patients with aortic stenosis (AS) and high surgical risk. To date, reports of short- and mid-term survival have been favourable. The aim of this thesis was to evaluate early safety, risk assessment and late survival following TAVI. LÄS MER
4. Survival and functional recovery following valve replacement in patients with severe aortic stenosis
Sammanfattning : Background: Aortic stenosis (AS) is the most common heart valve disease in Europe and North America. Age-related calcification of the valve is the commonest cause of acquired AS, especially in patients older than 70 years. LÄS MER
5. Implications of myocardial dysfunction before and after aortic valve intervention
Sammanfattning : BACKGROUNDPostoperative heart failure in the setting of aortic valve surgery results in poor long-term survival. We hypothesized that there could be a myocardial factor that is not addressed by risk scores currently available. We speculated that this myocardial factor could be diastolic dysfunction. LÄS MER
