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.

Severe Mitral Regurgitation in Paradoxical Low-Flow, Low-Gradient Severe Aortic Stenosis

Circulation: Cardiovascular Imaging

Circulation: Cardiovascular Imaging, Ahead of Print. BACKGROUND:Patients with paradoxical low-flow, low-gradient severe aortic stenosis exhibit low transvalvular flow rate (Q), while maintaining preserved left ventricular ejection fraction. Subgroups were based on MR severity (severe and nonsevere). P<0.001).

Electronic Provider Notification to Facilitate the Recognition and Management of Severe Aortic Stenosis: a Randomized Clinical Trial

Circulation

Circulation, Ahead of Print. Background: Symptomatic severe aortic stenosis (AS) remains undertreated with high resultant mortality despite increased growth and availability of aortic valve replacement (AVR) since the advent of transcatheter therapies. cm2were enrolled. cm2were enrolled. with EPN versus 37.2%

Pathophysiology, emerging techniques for the assessment and novel treatment of aortic stenosis

Open Heart

Our perspectives on aortic stenosis (AS) are changing. Novel approaches are developing to address this through: (1) screening with circulating biomarkers; (2) development of drugs to slow disease progression and (3) early valve intervention guided by medical imaging. Currently, invasive intervention is the only treatment for AS.

Left Ventricular Hypertrophy in Aortic Stenosis: Early Cell and Matrix Regression 2 Months Post-Aortic Valve Replacement

Circulation: Cardiovascular Imaging

Circulation: Cardiovascular Imaging, Volume 17, Issue 12 , Page e017425, December 1, 2024. BACKGROUND:In aortic stenosis, the myocardium responds with left ventricular hypertrophy, which is characterized by increased left ventricular mass due to cellular hypertrophy and extracellular matrix expansion. weeks post-AVR.

Conduction Disturbances and Outcome After Surgical Aortic Valve Replacement in Patients With Bicuspid and Tricuspid Aortic Stenosis

Circulation

Circulation, Ahead of Print. The groups were stratified by aortic valve morphology (BAV, n=589; TAV, n=558). The outcomes of interests were new-onset third-degree AV block or new-onset LBBB during the index hospitalization.
