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

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

All patients were pre-TAVR assessed by transthoracic echocardiography and computed tomography of the aortic valve (AV) and relevant left cardiac and vascular anatomy. Nanjing) to evaluate its safety and efficacy.Methods130 high risk patients with symptomatic severe AS from 11 institutions were treated with the novel Xcor system.

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. Ascending aortic diameter was the single predictor of 1-year mortality in type 0 bicuspid patients (hazard ratio, 1.59 [95% CI, 1.03–2.44];P=0.035). 2.44];P=0.035).

What is new in Heart failure management ? Ultrasonic cardiac re-synchronization : The WiSE -CRT device

Dr. S. Venkatesan MD

In the process, improving the ejection fraction and possibly reducing mitral regurgitation. The primary reason is, the LV epicardial lead pacing site was pre-selected by the coronary sinus anatomy. Still, the optimal benefit of CRT concept has been difficult to extract from this device. CRT, cardiac resynchronization therapy.
