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).

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. to 4.58, p=0.04).

What is the infarct artery????? And have you ever seen a troponin this high?

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

She had a history of PCI to the circumflex and also of severe mitral regurgitation, status post bioprosthetic valve replacement. Also a h/o LV aneurysm with thrombus, on anticoagulation, as well as a dual chamber pacemaker. OM1 is occluded and OM2 has 60% stenosis. They called 911. On arrival, the BP was 60/30.
