TAVR Found Non-Inferior to SAVR for Low-Risk Patients

DAIC

TAVR and SAVR are procedures to replace a damaged aortic valve that is not functioning properly. TAVR and SAVR are procedures to replace a damaged aortic valve that is not functioning properly. The DEDICATE-DZHK6 trial compared TAVR vs. SAVR in 1,414 patients who underwent valve replacement procedures at 38 centers in Germany.

DAIC

The DAIC team has learned of the passing of Alain Cribier, MD, FACC, heralded as the man who pioneered the first transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) in 2002, as well as the first transcatheter mitral commissurotomy in 1995 and the first balloon aortic valvuloplasty in 1986. He passed away Feb. 16, 2024 at the age of 79.

SAVR’s Value in the TAVR Era

CardiacWire

Procedure trends certainly suggest that we’ve entered the TAVR era, but a pair of new studies show that surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) is a far better option for many younger and healthier patients who are increasingly seen as TAVR candidates. The post SAVR’s Value in the TAVR Era appeared first on Cardiac Wire.

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

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

All patients were pre-TAVR assessed by transthoracic echocardiography and computed tomography of the aortic valve (AV) and relevant left cardiac and vascular anatomy. Nanjing) to evaluate its safety and efficacy.Methods130 high risk patients with symptomatic severe AS from 11 institutions were treated with the novel Xcor system.
