Severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is a common valvular heart disease with an incidence of approximately 4% in the adult general population. Most commonly, it results from secondary causes including left ventricular dysfunction, mitral regurgitation and pulmonary arterial hypertension. Isolated severe TR has been identified as an independent predictor of death and cardiac adverse events. Furthermore, TR has been observed to develop late after left-sided valve surgery in up to 10% of patients with adverse impact on clinical outcomes. Perioperative mortality after surgical correction of TR has been reported to range between 2 and 10%. Moreover, a relevant proportion of patients with TR have a...
This book provides comprehensive information on transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI), which was introduced for the treatment of aortic valve disease less than two decades ago. It explains how TAVI has delivered satisfactory results even in high and intermediate risk patients and outlines how it continues to evolve, thus requiring awareness of state of the art approaches to indication, risk stratification, device choice, procedure, and follow-up. In addition, it reports on the complex and multidisciplinary approach needed to maximize the efficacy, safety, and appropriateness of TAVI, providing detailed clinical, interventional and surgical perspectives focusing on the development of this cardiovascular intervention. Starting with the history of TAVI, addressing the interventional anatomy of aortic valve disease, and reporting on the expert authors’ day-to-day experiences, this highly informative book offers an essential update for all cardiologists and surgeons interested in transcatheter aortic valve implantation, as well as any clinician, decision-maker and stakeholder involved in patient selection, procedural management, and follow-up.

Dabei wird das Wechselverhältnis von Aufnahmegesellschaft und MigrantInnen von zwei Faktoren bestimmt: einerseits von Nützlichkeitserwägungen der Aufnahmegesellschaft bzw. von ökonomischen Interessen der MigrantInnen, andererseits von der Unterteilu...
