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.

Substantial Site-Level Variation in Pacemaker Implantation Rates Post TAVR

American College of Cardiology

Despite decreasing rates of permanent pacemaker implantation (PPI) after TAVR, substantial site-level variation persists, suggesting the need for quality improvement initiatives like replicating best practices from high-performing sites and increased guideline-based education, according to a recent study published in JACC: Cardiovascular Interventions.

Feasibility of Coronary Access Following Redo-TAVR for Evolut Failure: A Computed Tomography Simulation Study

Circulation: Cardiovascular Interventions

Circulation: Cardiovascular Interventions, Volume 16, Issue 11 , Page e013238, November 1, 2023. BACKGROUND:Coronary accessibility following redo–transcatheter aortic valve replacement (redo-TAVR) is increasingly important, particularly in younger low-risk patients. Two initial Evolut implant depths were analyzed, 3 and 5 mm.

NCDR Analysis Examines Outcomes With Fifth-Generation Balloon Expandable THV

American College of Cardiology

The fifth-generation SAPIEN 3 Ultra Resilia valve (S3UR) transcatheter heart valve (THV), used in TAVR procedures, is associated with lower mean gradients and lower rates of paravalvular leak (PVL) when compared to outcomes from the SAPIEN 3 (S3) and SAPIEN 3 Ultra (S3U) valves, according to a study presented at CRT 2024 and simultaneously published (..)
