TAVI Matches SAVR in Lower Risk Aortic Valve Patients: 10 year outcomes

Cardiology Update

The NOTION trial, a pioneering study, sought to compare the long-term clinical and bioprosthesis outcomes of Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) versus Surgical Aortic Valve Replacement (SAVR) in patients with severe aortic valve stenosis (AS) at lower surgical risk.

Non-dual antiplatelet therapy versus dual antiplatelet therapy prior to transcatheter aortic valve replacement: A systematic review and meta-analysis

Journal of Cardiovascular Pharmacology

Abstract: Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is an interventional procedure performed in patients with severe aortic stenosis and often required perioperative antiplatelet therapy. Most previous studies have focused on antiplatelet therapy following TAVR. Copyright © 2023 Wolters Kluwer Health, Inc.

Diffuse Subendocardial Ischemia on the ECG. Left main? 3-vessel disease? No!

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

The diagnostic coronary angiogram identified only minimal coronary artery disease, but there was a severely calcified, ‘immobile’ aortic valve. Aortic angiogram did not reveal aortic dissection. If you see this, you should Doppler the valve. Aortic valve surgery as an emergency procedure.

Right ventricular dysfunction and impaired right ventricular–pulmonary arterial coupling in paradoxical low‐flow, low‐gradient aortic stenosis

European Journal of Heart Failure

While left ventricular (LV) systolic function is preserved, right ventricular dysfunction (RVD) and consecutive LV underfilling may contribute to low-flow and reduced stroke volume index, and to adverse outcomes following transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI).
