Dedicated trial in women demonstrates the superiority of transcatheter vs. surgical aortic valve replacement

Medical Xpress - Cardiology

Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) was superior to surgical aortic valve replacement for reducing death, stroke or rehospitalization in women with severe aortic stenosis, according to late-breaking research presented in a Hot Line session today at ESC Congress 2024.

Alternative access in transcatheter aortic valve replacement—an updated focused review

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Aortic Stenosis (AS) is a common condition with an estimated pooled prevalence of all AS in the elderly population at around 12.4%, with that of severe AS estimated to be around 3.4%. In the past, surgical aortic valve replacement was the primary treatment option for severe AS for decades.

Sarcopenia and aortic valve disease

Heart BMJ

Valvular heart disease, including calcific or degenerative aortic stenosis (AS), is increasingly prevalent among the older adult population. Over the last few decades, treatment of severe AS has been revolutionised following the development of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR).
