Limited Access to Aortic Valve Procedures in Socioeconomically Disadvantaged Areas

Journal of the American Heart Association

We estimate the relationship between local deprivation ranking and differences in volumes of aortic valve replacement, which include transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) and surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR), versus coronary artery bypass graft surgery and laparoscopic colectomy (LC).

Multi-Valve Surgery Risk Calculator

Society of Thoracic Surgeons - Congenital

STS leveraged contemporary national data from the STS Adult Cardiac Surgery Database between July 2017 and December 2023 to analyze outcomes of 32,938 patients that underwent multi-valve surgery involving replacement of the aortic valve, plus replacement or repair of the mitral valve, with and without concomitant coronary artery bypass grafting.

TMVR after TA-TAVR: a re-redo surgery—case report

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

IntroductionTranscatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR) is a valuable treatment option in patients with severe mitral regurgitation. Prior transapical transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TA-TAVR) may complicate the procedure and is therefore considered a relative contraindication.

Hackensack Meridian Hackensack University and Jersey Shore University Medical Centers Again Ranked Among the Elite Hospitals in North America for Open Heart Surgery

DAIC

The academic medical centers received three-star ratings in isolated coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and isolated mitral valve replacement and repair (MVRR) surgeries. Jersey Shore University Medical Center also received a three-star rating in isolated aortic valve replacement (AVR) surgery.

Cardiovascular Surgery at the Mount Sinai Hospital Wins Highest Quality National Ratings from Society of Thoracic Surgeons

DAIC

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); aortic valve replacement (AVR); AVR and CABG; mitral valve replacement/repair (MVRR); and MVRR and CABG.

Minimally Invasive Options For High-Risk Heart Surgery

MIBHS

Since the clip is inserted through an artery, it eliminates the need for risky chest incisions. Aortic Valve Replacement (AVR): AVR is a minimally invasive procedure in which the surgeon makes a small incision and allows the heart to continue to beat during the entire procedure. Then, they place a graft.
