What Are the Implications of Choosing a TAVR-First Strategy in the Lifetime Management of Aortic Stenosis?: A Critical Review of TAVR-Explant- and Redo-TAVR

Circulation: Cardiovascular Interventions

Circulation: Cardiovascular Interventions, Ahead of Print. Some patients with aortic stenosis may require multiple valve interventions in their lifetime, and choosing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) as the initial intervention may be appealing to many.

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

Circulation: Cardiovascular Interventions, Ahead of Print. 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%).

Left Ventricular Hypertrophy in Aortic Stenosis: Early Cell and Matrix Regression 2 Months Post-Aortic Valve Replacement

Circulation: Cardiovascular Imaging

Circulation: Cardiovascular Imaging, Volume 17, Issue 12 , Page e017425, December 1, 2024. BACKGROUND:In aortic stenosis, the myocardium responds with left ventricular hypertrophy, which is characterized by increased left ventricular mass due to cellular hypertrophy and extracellular matrix expansion. weeks post-AVR.

Severe Mitral Regurgitation in Paradoxical Low-Flow, Low-Gradient Severe Aortic Stenosis

Circulation: Cardiovascular Imaging

Circulation: Cardiovascular Imaging, Ahead of Print. BACKGROUND:Patients with paradoxical low-flow, low-gradient severe aortic stenosis exhibit low transvalvular flow rate (Q), while maintaining preserved left ventricular ejection fraction. Subgroups were based on MR severity (severe and nonsevere). P<0.001).

Conduction Disturbances and Outcome After Surgical Aortic Valve Replacement in Patients With Bicuspid and Tricuspid Aortic Stenosis

Circulation

Circulation, Ahead of Print. The groups were stratified by aortic valve morphology (BAV, n=589; TAV, n=558). The outcomes of interests were new-onset third-degree AV block or new-onset LBBB during the index hospitalization.

Abstract 4145296: Aortic Valve Hemodynamics in Liver Cirrhosis

Circulation

Circulation, Volume 150, Issue Suppl_1 , Page A4145296-A4145296, November 12, 2024. Aortic valve stenosis (AS) is often a contraindication to liver transplantation (LT). There was a similar change in mean gradients whereas aortic valve area and dimensionless index remained unchanged after LT.
