Recently published research shows a medical device may be beneficial for patients who have previously had a stroke and are planning to undergo a transcatheter aorticvalve replacement, a type of heart valve operation.
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 aortic stenosis , many hospitals are still opting for a nonsurgical approach in patients under 60—possibly with poorer survival rates.
(MedPage Today) -- NEW YORK CITY -- Researchers eked out evidence of a small clinical benefit with the Sentinel cerebral embolic protection (CEP) device in transcatheter aorticvalve replacement (TAVR) -- and pointed to the patients more likely.
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.
Aim This study aimed to systematically review and analyse the existing evidence on outcomes of emergency transcatheter aorticvalve implantation (eTAVI) and emergency balloon aortic valvuloplasty (eBAV) in CS patients. Despite advancements in emergency interventions, the optimal treatment approach remains uncertain.
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 aorticvalve stenosis: Increased levels of a lipid particle called lipoprotein(a). It is the most common genetic cause of cardiovascular diseases.
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.
Objectives The use of cerebral embolic protection (CEP) during transcatheter aorticvalve implantation (TAVI) has been studied in several randomised trials. We aimed to perform a systematic review and Bayesian meta-analysis of randomised CEP trials, focusing on a clinically relevant reduction in disabling stroke.
Fethi Benraouane , and Dr. Molham Aldeiri , have successfully performed the first series of transcarotid Transcatheter AorticValve Replacement (TAVR) procedures ever done in Southeast Houston. This novel approach potentially decreases the risk of stroke and vascular complications and makes more options available for patients.
(MedPage Today) -- CHICAGO -- Routine use of devices to prevent cerebral emboli during transcatheter aorticvalve implantation (TAVI) did not prevent strokes, a large randomized trial showed. Incidence of stroke within 72 hours after TAVI or.
Seven studies showed that TAVR patients had a similar 1-year stroke risk to SAVR patients (OR 0.92, 95% CI 0.64 Circulation, Volume 150, Issue Suppl_1 , Page A4142104-A4142104, November 12, 2024. All statistical analyses were conducted using Review Manager (Rev Man, Version 5.4; The Cochrane Collaboration, Copenhagen, Denmark).Results:After
SAVR after TAVR Surgical aorticvalve replacement after prior TAVR is the fastest-growing cardiac surgery procedure in the U.S. The majority require explant of the TAVR device and SAVR, which significantly increases the risk of operative mortality and stroke. More than 5,500 multi-valve procedures were performed in the U.S.
BACKGROUND:Data concerning the outcomes of transcatheter aorticvalve 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%). Poverall=0.099) and all stroke (30 days: 1.0% Poverall=0.522; 1 year: 10% versus 2.3%
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 use of transcatheter aorticvalve replacement (TAVR) has become the preferred therapy for most patients with AS and concomitant HF.
BackgroundWe aimed to reevaluate randomized controlled trial data on outcomes of cerebral embolic protection device use during transcatheter aorticvalve implantation. Primary outcomes included all stroke, disabling stroke, and allcause mortality.
Nature Reviews Cardiology, Published online: 10 April 2025; doi:10.1038/s41569-025-01156-9 Findings from the BHF PROTECT-TAVI trial indicate that the routine use of cerebral embolic protection devices during transcatheter aorticvalve implantation does not decrease the incidence of stroke within 72 h after the intervention.
BackgroundAcute ischemic stroke complicates 2% to 3% of transcatheter aorticvalve replacements (TAVRs). Fifty‐seven patients (1.7%) experienced a periprocedural stroke. The incidence of acute stroke was significantly higher among patients with a bovine arch compared with those with a nonbovine arch (3.6%
Data shows, versus surgery, the Evolut transcatheter aorticvalve replacement (TAVR) system delivers a numerically lower rate of all-cause mortality or disabling stroke at five years, strong valve performance and durable clinical outcomes. Evolut TAVR vs. 9.3%
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. to 4.58, p=0.04).
BackgroundCerebral embolic protection devices (CEPD) capture embolic material in an attempt to reduce ischemic brain injury during transcatheter aorticvalve replacement. Primary clinical outcome was all‐cause stroke. Secondary clinical outcomes were disabling stroke and all‐cause mortality.
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 aortic stenosis.
Introduction:Subclinical leaflet thrombosis is an increasingly recognized complication in patients undergoing transcatheter aorticvalve replacement (TAVR). Patients with hypoattenuated leaflet thickening (HALT) and reduced leaflet motion (RELM) have a higher incidence of strokes and transient ischemic attacks.
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.
Cardiac Surgery after Transcatheter AorticValve Replacement: Trends and Outcomes The researchers set out to document trends and outcomes in cardiac surgery following transcatheter aorticvalve replacement (TAVR), a topic gaining importance as reports of subsequent cardiac operations and early TAVR explantations increase.
Objective Postprocedural ischaemic and bleeding risks after transcatheter aorticvalve replacement (TAVR) remain a major concern. Ischaemic events were defined as myocardial infarction, stroke, transient ischaemic attack or peripheral embolism at 1 year.
In a randomized trial, the routine use of cerebral embolic protection during TAVI did not reduce the incidence of stroke within 72 hours or before discharge from the hospital (if discharge occurred sooner).
It uses a three-star scale (3=better than expected, 2=as expected, 1=worse than expected) to rate institutions across five common cardiovascular procedures: coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG); aorticvalve replacement (AVR); AVR and CABG; mitral valve replacement/repair (MVRR); and MVRR and CABG.
Background:The optimal treatment in patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS) and small aortic annulus (SAA) remains to be determined. Participants were 151 patients with severe AS and SAA (mean diameter <23 mm) were randomized (1:1) to TAVR (n=77) vs SAVR (n=74), The primary outcome was impaired valve hemodynamics (i.e.
Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is common in patients undergoing transcatheter aorticvalve replacement (TAVR) and is associated with increased risk of bleeding and stroke. WATCHMAN patients received anticoagulation for 45 days followed by dual antiplatelet therapy until 6 months.
Objective To investigate the impact of prior coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and coronary lesion complexity on transcatheter aorticvalve replacement (TAVR) outcomes for aortic stenosis.
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)?
To clarify these contrasts, we examined the influence of HR, aortic compliance and stroke volume (SV) on RF in an ex vivo porcine model of severe AR. Methods Experiments were performed on porcine ascending aorta with aorticvalves (n=12). Compliance was varied by inserting a Dacron graft close to the aorticvalve.
A fib is a well-established risk factor for ischemic strokes. In patients with nonvalvular A fib, the majority of embolic strokes are caused by thrombi development in the left atrial appendage. Systemic anticoagulation (AC) is effective in reducing stroke risk in patients with A fib. 5,661 underwent percutaneous closure.
