Invasive hemodynamic evaluation in patients with mechanical aortic valves

Abstract: Invasive hemodynamic evaluation in the patient with a mechanical aortic valve has in the past required transseptal or apical left ventricular puncture in order to obtain left ventricular pressure measurements. Over the last few years, several case reports have described the feasibility of using a coronary pressure-sensing guidewire to cross mechanical prosthetic aortic valves. In the current manuscript, we report four cases in which the use of a pressure-sensing guidewire was utilized for invasive hemodynamic … Show more

“…By cineradiography the valve leaflet motion was uniform and normal. Using the coronary pressure wire technique with the SmartMap adapter and retrograde crossing of the prosthetic valve with the 0.014 00 pressure guidewire using the published technique [1], we measured a mean prosthetic aortic valve gradient of 20.7 mm Hg; calculated aortic valve area of 1.96 cm 2 [see Fig. 1 (attached hemodynamic figure)].…”

“…1, 2, 10, 11 Coronary pressure sensing wires have been used for invasive hemodynamic evaluation and measurement of bileaflet mechanical valve gradients. 12 However, these techniques are not suitable when larger catheters are needed to be introduced into the LV. Therefore, a percutaneous trans-apical approach has been undertaken for electrophysiology and interventional procedures in the LV.…”
