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 identified left ventricular hypertrophy and large caruncle-like masses obstructing the left ventricular outflow in an autopsy report from a patient with palpitations, progressive dyspnea, and loss of peripheral pulses.[1][2]
- 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. [3] [4]
