Background Cardiogenic shock (CS) induced by severe aorticstenosis (AS) is a life-threatening condition with high mortality. Despite advancements in emergency interventions, the optimal treatment approach remains uncertain. The primary endpoint was mortality at 30 days. Results Seventeen studies were included, totalling 2811 patients.

Getty Images milla1cf Mon, 01/29/2024 - 14:24 January 29, 2024 — Despite national guidelines recommending surgical aorticvalve replacement (SAVR) for patients under age 65 with severe aorticstenosis , many hospitals are still opting for a nonsurgical approach in patients under 60—possibly with poorer survival rates.
A review in The Lancet finds that 20% of the world population carries a genetic risk factor for cardiovascular diseases such as heart attacks, strokes, and aorticvalvestenosis: Increased levels of a lipid particle called lipoprotein(a). It is the most common genetic cause of cardiovascular diseases.
A normal functioning aorticvalve has three leaflets, usually referred to as cusps, and is positioned at the end of the left ventricle. This valve is the main pump that delivers oxygenated blood to the entire body. Today we take a deep dive into aorticvalve replacement, so you can have the knowledge you need.
Transcript of the video: Closure line of aorticvalve on M-Mode echocardiogram, is seen as central line, while in bicuspid aorticvalve, it is an eccentric closure, nearer to one of the walls of the aorta. That is an important feature of bicuspid aorticvalve on M-Mode echocardiogram. This is a closure line.
BACKGROUND:Data concerning the outcomes of transcatheter aorticvalve replacement in type 0 bicuspid aorticstenosis (AS) are scarce. Self-expanding transcatheter heart valves were used in the majority of patients (n=1160; 91.4%). Poverall=0.099) and all stroke (30 days: 1.0% Poverall=0.765; 1 year: 1.4%
There were no statistically significant differences in terms of stroke, paravalvular leak, mechanical ventilation time, blood transfusion requirements, pacemaker implantation, reexploration for bleeding, conversion, wound infection, or in-hospital stay. This was a retrospective, single-center observational study.
ABSTRACT Patients with severe aorticstenosis (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 use of transcatheter aorticvalve replacement (TAVR) has become the preferred therapy for most patients with AS and concomitant HF.
Seven studies showed that TAVR patients had a similar 1-year stroke risk to SAVR patients (OR 0.92, 95% CI 0.64 Odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for each study, employing a random-effects model for data synthesis irrespective of heterogeneity, were utilized as measures of outcomes. to 1.17, p=0.30, I2 3%).
The goal of the PROTECTED TAVR trial was to evaluate the efficacy of intraprocedural cerebral embolic protection (CEP) in reducing strokes among patients undergoing transfemoral TAVR for aorticstenosis.

Patients with bicuspid aorticvalves (BAV) are predisposed to the development of aorticstenosis. We performed a pairwise meta-analysis, comparing the efficacy of transcatheter aorticvalve replacement (TAVR) versus surgical aorticvalve replacement (SAVR) in patients with BAV.
Background:The optimal treatment in patients with severe aorticstenosis (AS) and small aortic annulus (SAA) remains to be determined. There were no differences between groups regarding mortality (TAVR: 1 [1.3%], SAVR: 1 [1.4%], p=1.00) and stroke (TAVR:0, SAVR: 2 [2.7%], p=0.24) at 30 days.
Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is common in patients undergoing transcatheter aorticvalve replacement (TAVR) and is associated with increased risk of bleeding and stroke. Conclusions: Concomitant WATCHMAN LAAO and TAVR is noninferior to TAVR with medical therapy in severe aorticstenosis patients with AF.

A cost-effectiveness analysis demonstrates the positive economic value of transcatheter aorticvalve replacement (TAVR) using Evolut TAVR compared to surgical aorticvalve replacement (SAVR) for low-risk patients. At Medtronic, we continue to emphasize that valve design matters. in the SAVR cohort (p=0.06).
The NOTION trial, a pioneering study, sought to compare the long-term clinical and bioprosthesis outcomes of Transcatheter AorticValve Implantation (TAVI) versus Surgical AorticValve Replacement (SAVR) in patients with severe aorticvalvestenosis (AS) at lower surgical risk.
Background A quarter of patients with severe aorticstenosis (AS) were asymptomatic, and only a third of them survived at the end of 4 years. Only a select subset of these patients was recommended for aorticvalve replacement (AVR) by the current American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association guidelines.
Transcatheter aorticvalve implantation (TAVI) was superior to surgical aorticvalve replacement for reducing death, stroke or rehospitalization in women with severe aorticstenosis, according to late-breaking research presented in a Hot Line session today at ESC Congress 2024.
Among patients with asymptomatic severe aorticstenosis, early TAVR was superior to clinical surveillance in reducing the incidence of death, stroke, or unplanned hospitalization for cardiovascular causes.
Getty Images milla1cf Wed, 05/15/2024 - 19:10 May 15, 2024 — A new study demonstrated parity between a minimally invasive procedure to replace the aorticvalve in the heart— transcatheter aorticvalve replacement (TAVR)—and surgical aorticvalve replacement (SAVR).

Stroke, Volume 56, Issue Suppl_1 , Page ATP316-ATP316, February 1, 2025. Background:Despite improvements in the safety of transcatheter aorticvalve replacement (TAVR), ~4% of patients experience a procedure-related stroke. We assessed if there was a difference in stroke events between cancer and non-cancer patients.
The EARLY TAVR trial results demonstrate that early transcatheter aorticvalve implantation in patients with asymptomatic severe aorticstenosis is superior to clinical surveillance in significantly reducing the composite primary outcome of death, stroke, or unplanned hospitalization for cardiovascular causes.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), heart disease and stroke rank as the first and fifth leading causes of death in the nation. About 276,000 patients have undergone a TAVR procedure in the United States. About 276,000 patients have undergone a TAVR procedure in the United States.

Objective The optimal medical therapy after surgical aorticvalve replacement (SAVR) for aorticstenosis remains unknown. Methods All patients undergoing SAVR due to aorticstenosis in Sweden 2006–2020 and surviving 6 months after surgery were included.
TAVR and SAVR are procedures to replace a damaged aorticvalve that is not functioning properly. guidelines recommend TAVR, a catheter-based approach in which the new valve is threaded to the heart through a blood vessel in the groin or chest, over open-heart SAVR for older patients and those with high cardiovascular risk.
Objective Patients with low-flow, low-gradient aorticstenosis (LFLG AS) and reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) are known to suffer from poor prognosis after transcatheter aorticvalve implantation (TAVI). A score system was developed ranging from 0 to 12 points (risk of 1-year mortality: 13%–99%).
Abstract: Transcatheter aorticvalve replacement (TAVR) is an interventional procedure performed in patients with severe aorticstenosis and often required perioperative antiplatelet therapy. Most previous studies have focused on antiplatelet therapy following TAVR.
