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

Open Heart

FEBRUARY 27, 2024

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

Open Heart

JUNE 21, 2022

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.

Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is common in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) and is associated with increased risk of bleeding and stroke. Conclusions: Concomitant WATCHMAN LAAO and TAVR is noninferior to TAVR with medical therapy in severe aortic stenosis patients with AF.

During medical school, one of the classic bedside exam questions we get is how to differentiate the valve issues of aortic stenosis and mitral regurgitation, which produce similar but different murmurs when you listen with a stethoscope. They are the same ones asking about the murmur characteristics of aortic stenosis.

They found non-obstructive CAD, with only a 20% stenosis of OM2 and 10% RCA. The next morning the patient went for his routine echocardiogram, where the operator noticed a dilated aortic root at 5.47 cm with severe aortic insufficiency. 15-9/6/2017 ). No acute culprit.

In as early as 1958, the first heart surgery -a closed mitral commissurotomy on a 30-year-old man with rheumatic mitral stenosis- was performed by Professor Ton That Tung, setting the stage for many decades of cardiac surgical endeavours to come. In 1964, deep hypothermia was first used, followed by the cardiopulmonary bypass in 1965.

There is ventricular hypertrophy in the absence of abnormal loading conditions, such as aortic stenosis, or hypertension, for example – of which the most common variant is Asymmetric Septal Hypertrophy. As a brief review, HCM is a genetically inherited disorder that produces structural disarray in the myocardial cells. & Desai, M.

Background Treatment of severe aortic stenosis with transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) was introduced in 2002. The 13-year period was divided into period 1 (2008–2012), period 2 (2013–2017), and period 3 (2018–2021).
