Midterm outcomes of transcatheter aortic valve replacement in patients with active cancer

Open Heart

Objectives The clinical outcomes of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) in patients with aortic stenosis (AS) and concomitant active cancer remain insufficiently explored. Results Of the 2336 patients who underwent TAVR from October 2013 to July 2017, 89 patients (3.8%) had active cancer, whereas 2247 did not.

Impact of Transjugular Intracardiac Echocardiography-Guided Self-Expandable Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation on Reduction of Conduction Disturbances

Circulation: Cardiovascular Interventions

BACKGROUND:A high permanent pacemaker implantation (PPI) risk remains a concern of self-expandable transcatheter aortic valve implantation, despite the continued improvements in implantation methodology. There were no group differences in 30-day all-cause mortality (1.4% versus 0%;P=0.608).CONCLUSIONS:Our

The Society of Thoracic Surgeons Launches New Valve Surgery Risk Calculators

DAIC

Analysis of 13,587 patients undergoing isolated tricuspid valve surgery from 2017 to 2023 revealed a 5.5% SAVR after TAVR Surgical aortic valve replacement after prior TAVR is the fastest-growing cardiac surgery procedure in the U.S. More than 5,500 multi-valve procedures were performed in the U.S.

Ballooning an obstructed prosthetic Aortic valve : Can be a real tense procedure!

Dr. S. Venkatesan MD

A 76-year-old woman with a history of double valve replacement (Aortic and mitral valves) for rheumatic heart disease, presented with acute dyspnea after a switch from Warfarin to LMWH before a planned bone marrow biopsy. Hence distal protection by an Aortic sentinel device or its equivalent (FilterWire EZ, Tri-guard) is a must.

Impact of elevated left ventricular filling pressure on long-term outcomes after transcatheter aortic valve replacement

Open Heart

Background Increase in left ventricular filling pressure (FP) and diastolic dysfunction are established consequences of progressive aortic stenosis (AS). However, the impact of elevated FP as detected by pretranscatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) echocardiogram on long-term outcomes after TAVR remains unclear.

Association between haematological parameters and outcomes following transcatheter aortic valve implantation at mid-term follow-up

Open Heart

Background Patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) often have multiple comorbidities, such as anaemia and chronic inflammatory disorders. We sought to investigate the association between preoperative and postoperative haematological parameters and clinical outcomes in TAVI patients at mid-term follow-up.
