Early experience with a novel transapical transcatheter aortic valve system in patients with severe aortic stenosis: a prospective, multicenter study

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

At 30-day follow-up, all-cause mortality, the incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events, major vascular complications, and new permanent pacemaker implantation were 3.8%, 4.6%, 0.8%, and 0.8%, respectively. of patients showedmild paravalvular leakage, and all 125 (100%) patients were in New York Heart Association ClassII.

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

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). 2.44];P=0.035).

PO-02-190 PERMANENT PACEMAKER IMPLANTATION OUTCOMES FOLLOWING SURGICAL MITRAL VALVE REPLACEMENT: A NATIONAL READMISSIONS DATABASE ANALYSIS

HeartRhythm

High grade atrioventricular block requiring pacemaker (PPM) implantation is a common complication of mitral valve replacement (MVR) and is associated with longer hospital stays and higher readmission rates. These clinical outcomes have not been examined in large nationally representative cohorts.

Predictors of post-TAVI conduction abnormalities in patients with bicuspid aortic valves

Open Heart

Objectives This study evaluates predictors of conduction abnormalities (CA) following transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) in patients with bicuspid aortic valves (BAV). Background TAVI is associated with CA that commonly necessitate a permanent pacemaker.

Orthostatic hypotension onset after invasive procedure?

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

Written by Willy Frick A man in his 70s with a history of HFrEF and sick sinus syndrome s/p dual chamber pacemaker placement was admitted for overnight observation following outpatient placement of a mitral valve clip. This is unambiguous evidence of pacemaker malfunction. Imagine the pacemaker is set at a minimum rate of 60.

Transcatheter versus surgical valve replacement in patients with bicuspid aortic valves: an updated meta-analysis

The British Journal of Cardiology

Patients with bicuspid aortic valves (BAV) are predisposed to the development of aortic stenosis. to 0.63, p=0.01) but a higher risk of new permanent pacemaker placement (RR 2.17, 95%CI 1.03 Medical databases were queried to pool comparative studies of interest. There were 60,858 patients with BAV (7,565 TAVR, 53,293 SAVR) included.

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

Circulation

BACKGROUND:This study aimed to compare the incidence and prognostic implications of new-onset conduction disturbances after surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) in patients with bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) aortic stenosis (AS) versus patients with tricuspid aortic valve (TAV) AS (ie, BAV-AS and TAV-AS, respectively).
