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. Circulation: Cardiovascular Interventions, Ahead of Print. Self-expanding transcatheter heart valves were used in the majority of patients (n=1160; 91.4%).

Different leadless pacemakers working in harmony (Aveir in the atrium/Micra AV2 in the ventricle) in a patient with dextrocardia and double outlet right ventricle after high?risk infected device extraction

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology

Methods We present the first described case of using two leadless pacing systems manufactured by separate companies implanted within the same patient to provide atrial and ventricular pacing due to complex congenital anatomy. Laser-lead extraction and temporary atrial pacemaker placement was performed.

To revise the anatomy lessons, this is the external jugular vein and this is the internal jugular vein. The Y descent is shallow in tricuspid stenosis, and absent in cardiac tamponade. Right atrial hypertrophy as in tricuspid stenosis, pulmonary stenosis and pulmonary hypertension.
