What Are the Implications of Choosing a TAVR-First Strategy in the Lifetime Management of Aortic Stenosis?: A Critical Review of TAVR-Explant- and Redo-TAVR

Circulation: Cardiovascular Interventions

Circulation: Cardiovascular Interventions, Ahead of Print. Some patients with aortic stenosis may require multiple valve interventions in their lifetime, and choosing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) as the initial intervention may be appealing to many.

Taskforce Develops New Standards to Monitor Adults with Heart Valve Disease

DAIC

Highlights include: Due to the aging population and improvement in diagnostic strategies, the prevalence of heart valve disease is expected to double by 2040 and triple by 2060.As As a result, it is estimated that the number of patients requiring heart valve interventions will increase significantly in the coming decades.

Unraveling the Mechanisms of Valvular Heart Disease to Identify Medical Therapy Targets: A Scientific Statement From the American Heart Association

Circulation

Circulation, Ahead of Print. Valvular heart disease is a common cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide and has no effective medical therapy. Severe disease is managed with valve replacement procedures, which entail high health care–related costs and postprocedural morbidity and mortality.

Leaky Heart Valves

Dr. Sanjay Gupta

We are blessed with 4 heart valves – 2 on the left side which are known as the mitral and aortic valves and 2 on the right side – the tricuspid and pulmonary valves. This is why this condition is known as a condition of volume overload – slowly the amount of the blood in circulation increases.

Novel Real-Time Fluoroscopic Assessment Method of Transcatheter Heart Valve Expansion Following Balloon-Expandable TAVR

Circulation: Cardiovascular Interventions

Circulation: Cardiovascular Interventions, Ahead of Print. BACKGROUND:Transcatheter heart valve (THV) underexpansion after transcatheter aortic valve replacement may be associated with worse outcomes.

Outcomes Following Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement for Aortic Stenosis in Patients With Type 0 Bicuspid, Type 1 Bicuspid, and Tricuspid Aortic Valves

Circulation: Cardiovascular Interventions

Circulation: Cardiovascular Interventions, Ahead of Print. BACKGROUND:Data concerning the outcomes of transcatheter aortic valve 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%). 2.44];P=0.035).
