Predictors of permanent pacemaker requirement in aortic stenosis patients undergoing self-expanding valve transcatheter aortic valve replacement using the cusp overlap technique

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

This study aims to identify risk factors for conduction disturbances in such patients using a specific fluoroscopic cusp overlap (COL) technique.MethodsThis retrospective study analyzed AS patients who underwent TAVR with SEV from 2019 to 2022, excluding those needing pacemakers or valve-in-valve procedures.

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

Aortic valve intervention rates in patients of different ethnicity with severe aortic stenosis in Leicestershire, UK

Open Heart

Objectives To explore the ethnic differences in patients undergoing aortic valve (AV) intervention for severe aortic stenosis (AS) in Leicestershire, UK. Results Of the 1231 SAVR and 815 TAVI performed, 6.5% were in ethnic minority patients, respectively.

Recovery rate from conduction disorders in patients with permanent pacemaker implantation after transcatheter aortic valve implantation

Open Heart

Backgrounds Permanent pacemaker implantation (PPMI) is one of the greatest disadvantages of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). Methods We retrospectively analysed data from 745 consecutive patients who underwent TAVI for severe aortic stenosis from November 2013 to July 2022.

Outcomes Following Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement for Aortic Stenosis in Patients With Type 0 Bicuspid, Type 1 Bicuspid, and Tricuspid Aortic Valves

Circulation: Cardiovascular Interventions

BACKGROUND:Data concerning the outcomes of transcatheter aortic valve replacement in type 0 bicuspid aortic stenosis (AS) are scarce. Self-expanding transcatheter heart valves were used in the majority of patients (n=1160; 91.4%). In the matched population, differences in mortality (30 days: 4.2%

SAVR’s Value in the TAVR Era

CardiacWire

Procedure trends certainly suggest that we’ve entered the TAVR era, but a pair of new studies show that surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) is a far better option for many younger and healthier patients who are increasingly seen as TAVR candidates. The proportion of SAVR patients increased in the <65yr patient group (26.2%

Conduction Disturbances and Outcome After Surgical Aortic Valve Replacement in Patients With Bicuspid and Tricuspid Aortic Stenosis

Circulation

BACKGROUND:This study aimed to compare the incidence and prognostic implications of new-onset conduction disturbances after surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) in patients with bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) aortic stenosis (AS) versus patients with tricuspid aortic valve (TAV) AS (ie, BAV-AS and TAV-AS, respectively).
