The signs of aortic stenosis on physical exam include a systolic murmur, usually loudest at the right upper sternal border, that peaks late and radiates to the right carotid artery. [10] The ...
Their ‘supra-annular sizing’ algorithm 2 has led to more stable valve deployment and optimized interaction between the prosthesis and the aortic root. “With this new sizing algorithm ...
