Transcatheter versus surgical valve replacement in patients with bicuspid aortic valves: an updated meta-analysis

The British Journal of Cardiology

Patients with bicuspid aortic valves (BAV) are predisposed to the development of aortic stenosis. We performed a pairwise meta-analysis, comparing the efficacy of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) versus surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) in patients with BAV. to 4.58, p=0.04).

Quantitative fluid overload in severe aortic stenosis refines cardiac damage and associates with worse outcomes

European Journal of Heart Failure

Assessment of fluid overload identifies aortic stenosis (AS) patients at high risk and treatment of fluid overload may potentially improve the post-interventional clinical course. TAVI, transcatheter aortic valve implantation. FO can be objectively quantified using bioimpedance spectroscopy. FO by BIS was defined as ≥1.0 L

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

European Journal of Heart Failure

AF, atrial fibrillation; LAVI, left atrial volume index; RA, right atrial; RV, right ventricular; sPAP, systolic pulmonary artery pressure; SVI, stroke volume index; TR, tricuspid regurgitation. Aims Paradoxical low-flow, low-gradient aortic stenosis (pLFLG AS) may represent a diagnostic challenge, and its pathophysiology is complex.
