Overview

Aortic stenosis was probably first described by Lazare Riviere, a French physician in 1663.

Historical Perspective

• In 1663, the earliest description of calcific aortic stenosis was made by a french physician named Lazare Rivière. He reported the autopsy findings from a patient with palpitations, progressive dyspnea, and loss of peripheral pulses..

• The first transcatheter aortic valve replacement procedure in the world was performed on 16 April 2002 in a 57-year-old inoperable patient with severe aortic stenosis. The procedure was done by the Interventional Cardiologist Professor Alain Cribier at the Charles Nicolle University Hospital in Rouen, France.
