Pulse pressure and aortic valve peak velocity and incident heart failure after myocardial infarction: a cohort study

Heart BMJ

Background Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction is a recognised outcome in patients with myocardial infarction, although heart failure with reduced ejection fraction is more common. to 1.97), and a similar association was observed for aortic valve peak velocity (HR: 1.37, 95% CI 1.19 m/s had a 2.10-fold

Management of bicuspid aortic valve disease in the transcatheter aortic valve implantation era

Heart BMJ

In an era of rapidly expanding use of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI), the management of patients with bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) disease is far less well established than in those with trileaflet anatomy.

Optimal antithrombotic therapy after transcatheter aortic valve replacement: a comprehensive review

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has become a leading treatment for aortic stenosis, but managing thromboembolic and bleeding risks post-procedure remains challenging. This review examines current evidence on antithrombotic therapy after TAVR.

Early and late clinical outcomes and cost-effectiveness of aortic valve replacement using the Inspiris Resilia bioprosthesis

Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery

Background The present study aimed to critically revise the published literature on clinical outcomes and cost-effectiveness of Inspiris Resilia valve. Studies were excluded if they weren’t exclusively conducted on patients submitted to surgical aortic valve replacement using the Inspiris Resilia bioprosthesis.

Surgical and transcatheter aortic valve interventions for aortic stenosis in England: sociodemographic variations in treatment trends and outcome over 20 years

Heart BMJ

The sociodemographic characteristics of patients undergoing intervention for aortic stenosis (AS) in England, and the impact of COVID-19, is unknown. Results Of 179 645 procedures, there were 139 990 SAVR (mean age 71±10.8 years, 64% male, 96.0% white) and 39 655 TAVI (mean age 81±7.7 years, 57% male, 95.7%

60 or Younger? A 'Wake Up Call' for Mechanical Aortic Valve Replacement

Med Page Today

(MedPage Today) -- LOS ANGELES -- Survival outcomes favored mechanical valves for isolated surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) for people until age 60, after which a tissue valve may start to have an advantage, according to a large registry.
