Risk and protective factors for atrial fibrillation after cardiac surgery and valvular interventions: an umbrella review of meta-analyses

Open Heart

Objective Postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) is a common complication affecting approximately one-third of patients after cardiac surgery and valvular interventions. These associations included atrial and biatrial pacing and performing a posterior pericardiotomy.

Concomitant Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion and Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement Among Patients with Atrial Fibrillation

Circulation

Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is common in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) and is associated with increased risk of bleeding and stroke. Patients were randomized 1:1 to TAVR+LAAO or TAVR+medical therapy. For the composite primary endpoint, TAVR+.LAAO

Impact of elevated left ventricular filling pressure on long-term outcomes after transcatheter aortic valve replacement

Open Heart

However, the impact of elevated FP as detected by pretranscatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) echocardiogram on long-term outcomes after TAVR remains unclear. Objective To understand the impact of elevated FP in patients with severe AS who undergo TAVR. Patients with elevated FP had a mean age of 81.2±8.6

Impact of prior coronary artery bypass grafting and coronary lesion complexity on outcomes of transcatheter aortic valve replacement for severe aortic stenosis

Coronary Artery Disease Journal

Objective To investigate the impact of prior coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and coronary lesion complexity on transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) outcomes for aortic stenosis. Conclusion Prior CABG may positively affect mid-term TAVR outcomes for aortic stenosis compared with no CAD when adjusted for other comorbidities.
