The optimal management of concomitant chronic obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) in transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) recipients remains a debated topic. While some advocate for pre-TAVR percutaneous coronary intervention, others adopt an expectant approach.

Patients were selected from the HCA database (Jan 2021-Jul 2023). Patients with documented STEMI, left ventricular thrombus, mechanical mitral or aortic valve replacement were excluded. ICD 10 codes were used to identify patients with documented a fib. 5,661 underwent percutaneous closure.

Methods Three databases were searched up to June 2021. Only the transfemoral transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) approach was associated with the prevention of POAF and was supported by convincing evidence from meta-analyses of observational data.

Compared to centralized training approaches, the adoption of FL could negatively impact model performance.AimThis study aimed to evaluate four types of multicenter model development strategies for predicting 30-day mortality for patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI): (1) central, learning one model from a centralized dataset (..)

Introduction Severe aortic stenosis is a major cause of morbidity and mortality. The existing treatment pathway for transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) traditionally relies on tertiary Heart Valve Centre workup. Methods The centre performing local workup implemented a novel TAVI referral pathway.

As per Dr. Meyers — Given the context of a patient with known AFlutter since her aortic valve repair — for which she had been taking the Flecainide but not the Metoprolol she was prescribed — ECG #2 almost certainly represented conversion of her AFlutter from 2:1 to 1:1 AV conduction.
