This cohort study examines whether there is an association between osteosarcopenia and adverse outcomes, such as increased risk of mortality, in older adults following transcatheter aorticvalve replacement (TAVR).
IntroductionSince TAVR was approved for lower-risk aortic stenosis (AS) patients, managing post-implantation conduction disturbances has become crucial, especially with self-expanding heart valves (SEV).
Some patients with aortic stenosis may require multiple valve interventions in their lifetime, and choosing transcatheter aorticvalve replacement (TAVR) as the initial intervention may be appealing to many. If their transcatheter heart valve degenerates later in life, most will hope to undergo redo-TAVR.
Procedure trends certainly suggest that we’ve entered the TAVR era, but a pair of new studies show that surgical aorticvalve replacement (SAVR) is a far better option for many younger and healthier patients who are increasingly seen as TAVR candidates.
Tricuspid Valve Repair Existing literature on national surgical outcomes of isolated tricuspid valve repair or replacement is based on data from over a decade ago and may not reflect current practice results. Operative mortality and stroke were elevated in SAVR after TAVR patients with or without concomitant CABG at 9.3%
The goal of the NOTION trial was to compare outcomes after transcatheter aorticvalve replacement (TAVR) versus surgical aorticvalve replacement (SAVR) in unselected patients with severe degenerative aortic stenosis.
What are outcomes among patients younger than 65 years who received transcatheter aorticvalve replacement (TAVR) using a balloon-expandable valve compared to patients aged 65-80 years?
Transcatheter aorticvalve replacement (TAVR) is a relatively new treatment method for aortic stenosis (AS) and has been demonstrated to be suitable for patients with varying risk levels.
Among patients undergoing transcatheter aorticvalve replacement (TAVR) with a balloon-expandable valve (BEV), what are the 3-year clinical outcomes associated with a small (20 mm) compared to a larger (≥23 mm) device, and is there a relationship between the discharge echocardiographic (echo) mean gradient (MG) and measured or predicted thresholds (..)
What are the hemodynamic and clinical outcomes after transcatheter aorticvalve replacement (TAVR) and surgical aorticvalve replacement (SAVR) among patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS) and a small aortic annulus?
What are the contemporary characteristics, trends, and outcomes of intravascular lithotripsy (IVL)-assisted transfemoral (TF) transcatheter aorticvalve replacement (TAVR) in the United States?
Is there a relationship between site-level volumes and outcomes for transcatheter aorticvalve replacement (TAVR) and mitral transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (MTEER)?
Background and aims Randomised controlled trials comparing transcatheter aorticvalve replacement (TAVR) and surgical aorticvalve replacement (SAVR) were performed in highly selected populations and data regarding long-term secondary complications beyond mortality are scarce.
These findings suggest opportunities to enhance clinical practice and improve outcomes for Medicare patients undergoing esophagectomy for cancer. Using the Society of Thoracic Surgeons Adult Cardiac Surgery Database , the study covers adult patients who underwent cardiac surgery after an initial TAVR from January 2012 to March 2023.
What is the relationship between diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DW-MRI) total lesion number (TLN), individual lesion volume (ILV), and total lesion volume (TLV) with clinical stroke outcomes after transcatheter aorticvalve replacement (TAVR)?
Two separate late-breaking clinical trials – EARLY TAVR and EVOLVED – presented at TCT 2024 explore whether early aorticvalve intervention improves outcomes in patients with asymptomatic aortic stenosis (AS).
Objectives To understand the patient and hospital level drivers of the variation in surgical versus trascatheter aorticvalve replacement (SAVR vs TAVR) for patients with aortic stenosis (AS) and to explore whether this variation translates into differences in clinical outcomes.
However, the impact of elevated FP as detected by pretranscatheter aorticvalve replacement (TAVR) echocardiogram on long-term outcomes after TAVR remains unclear.

BackgroundValveinvalve transcatheter aorticvalve replacement (TAVR) is a recognized alternative for treating the structural valve deterioration of bioprosthetic valves. Recent guidelines and trials have expanded the indications for TAVR to include younger patients with structural valve deterioration.
Transcatheter aorticvalve replacement (TAVR) has increasingly become a safe, feasible, and widely accepted alternative surgical treatment for patients with severe symptomatic aortic stenosis.
TAVR in heart failure. ABSTRACT Patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS) may develop heart failure (HF), the presence of which has traditionally been deemed as a final stage in AS progression with poor outcomes. The prognostic covariates and optimal timing of TAVR in patients with less than severe AS remain unclear.
What are clinical outcomes among patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS) and coronary artery disease (CAD) undergoing surgical aorticvalve replacement (SAVR) plus revascularization versus transcatheter aorticvalve replacement (TAVR) plus percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI)?
Transcatheter aorticvalve replacement (TAVR) is increasingly being performed in younger and lower surgical risk patients. Reintervention for failed transcatheter heart valves will likely increase in the future as younger patients are expected to outlive the initial bioprosthesis.
Patients with bicuspid aorticvalves (BAV) are predisposed to the development of aortic stenosis. We performed a pairwise meta-analysis, comparing the efficacy of transcatheter aorticvalve replacement (TAVR) versus surgical aorticvalve replacement (SAVR) in patients with BAV.
