Functional assessment of coronary artery disease in patients with severe aortic stenosis: a review

Heart BMJ

A significant proportion of patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS) undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) have concomitant coronary artery disease (CAD). The best way to treat these patients is contentious.

Emergency interventions for cardiogenic shock due to decompensated aortic stenosis: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Open Heart

Background Cardiogenic shock (CS) induced by severe aortic stenosis (AS) is a life-threatening condition with high mortality. Despite advancements in emergency interventions, the optimal treatment approach remains uncertain. Methods A systematic literature review and meta-analysis was performed.

Surgical and transcatheter aortic valve interventions for aortic stenosis in England: sociodemographic variations in treatment trends and outcome over 20 years

Heart BMJ

The sociodemographic characteristics of patients undergoing intervention for aortic stenosis (AS) in England, and the impact of COVID-19, is unknown. Background Health inequalities in cardiovascular care have been identified in the UK.

TAVR System Shows Durable Clinical Outcomes, Strong Valve Performance in Low-Risk Aortic Stenosis Patients

DAIC

Data shows, versus surgery, the Evolut transcatheter aortic valve 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. Reardon, M.D.,

Predictors of permanent pacemaker requirement in aortic stenosis patients undergoing self-expanding valve transcatheter aortic valve replacement using the cusp overlap technique

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

IntroductionSince TAVR was approved for lower-risk aortic stenosis (AS) patients, managing post-implantation conduction disturbances has become crucial, especially with self-expanding heart valves (SEV).
