Midterm outcomes of transcatheter aortic valve replacement in patients with active cancer

Open Heart

Objectives The clinical outcomes of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) in patients with aortic stenosis (AS) and concomitant active cancer remain insufficiently explored. This study aimed to assess the midterm outcomes of TAVR in patients diagnosed with AS and active cancer. vs 74.7%, p=0.50).

New Study Finds Mechanical Valves Offer Superior Long-Term Survival for Aortic Valve Replacement Patients Aged 60 and Younger

Society of Thoracic Surgeons - Congenital

The findings are particularly relevant considering the increasing adoption of bioprosthetic surgical valves in many patients and the recent trend of bioprosthetic transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) in younger populations without clear evidence.

Abstract TP316: Stroke Events in Cancer Versus Non-Cancer Patients With Aortic Stenosis During Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement

Stroke Journal

Background:Despite improvements in the safety of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), ~4% of patients experience a procedure-related stroke. TAVR seems to be preferred in patients with cancer; however, related research on the clinical efficacy and stroke outcomes of TAVR in patients with cancer is limited.
