Abstract
There are three primary causes of aortic valvular stenosis (AS): rheumatic aortic valve disease, congenital malformation of aortic valve, and degenerative aortic valve disease. Congenital aortic valve dysplasia commonly underlies aortic stenosis in young patients, with bicuspid aortic valve being the most frequent form. Degenerative aortic valve disease is usually seen in patients aged over 65, accounting for over 70% of AS cases among patients aged over 70. Aortic valve disease caused by rheumatic fever is also one of the common causes. The thickening of the leaflets and the fusion of the leaflets and commissures eventually lead to calcification, resulting in narrowing of the valve orifice. This chapter introduces how to do PAN procedure for aortic valve stenosis.
