Greater Baseline TR Associated With Worse Outcomes After TAVR or Mitral TEER

American College of Cardiology

Patients with moderate or severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR) prior to undergoing TAVR or mitral transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER), when compared to patients with no or mild TR, were associated with worse health status and clinical outcomes, according to a study published in JACC: Cardiovascular Interventions.

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. Ascending aortic diameter was the single predictor of 1-year mortality in type 0 bicuspid patients (hazard ratio, 1.59 [95% CI, 1.03–2.44];P=0.035).

Transcatheter Mitral Valve Replacement With Atrial Fixation for Treatment of Atrial Functional Mitral Regurgitation

Circulation: Cardiovascular Interventions

Circulation: Cardiovascular Interventions, Ahead of Print. BACKGROUND:Many patients with atrial functional mitral regurgitation are not suitable candidates for surgery or transcatheter repair. Technical success and mitral regurgitation reduction from severe to none/trace were achieved in all cases.
