Management of bicuspid aortic valve disease in the transcatheter aortic valve implantation era

Heart BMJ

In an era of rapidly expanding use of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI), the management of patients with bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) disease is far less well established than in those with trileaflet anatomy.

Early experience with a novel transapical transcatheter aortic valve system in patients with severe aortic stenosis: a prospective, multicenter study

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

ObjectivesRegistered, prospective, multicenter study of the short-term clinical outcomes of a novel transcatheter aortic valve system (Xcor system, Saint Medical Technology, Inc., Procedural, in-hospital, and follow-up clinical outcomes were evaluated after procedures.ResultsThe average age of the 130 patients was 71.24.4

The feasibility of relaxation-enhanced angiography without contrast and triggering for preprocedural planning of transcatheter aortic valve implantation

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Background Cardiovascular MRI is advantageous in transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) planning. Methods Thirty patients with severe aortic stenosis were prospectively enrolled. Both modalities showed similar aortic valve morphology and semi-quantitative valve calcification (all, p 's > 0.05).

Association of Bovine Arch Anatomy With Incident Stroke After Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement

Journal of the American Heart Association

BackgroundAcute ischemic stroke complicates 2% to 3% of transcatheter aortic valve replacements (TAVRs). This study aimed to identify the aortic anatomic correlates in patients after TAVR stroke.Methods and ResultsThis is a single‐center, retrospective study of patients who underwent TAVR at the Mayo Clinic between 2012 and 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%

What Is TAVR? A Closer Look at Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement

AMS Cardiology

Understanding Aortic Stenosis The aortic valve regulates blood flow from your heart’s main pumping chamber to the rest of your body. In aortic stenosis, the valve leaflets stiffen and narrow, restricting blood flow. A Closer Look at Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement appeared first on AMS Cardiology.
