Predictors of permanent pacemaker requirement in aortic stenosis patients undergoing self-expanding valve transcatheter aortic valve replacement using the cusp overlap technique

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

IntroductionSince TAVR was approved for lower-risk aortic stenosis (AS) patients, managing post-implantation conduction disturbances has become crucial, especially with self-expanding heart valves (SEV). Forty-seven received SEVs using COL, and 50 with CON techniques.

What Are the Implications of Choosing a TAVR-First Strategy in the Lifetime Management of Aortic Stenosis?: A Critical Review of TAVR-Explant- and Redo-TAVR

Circulation: Cardiovascular Interventions

Some patients with aortic stenosis may require multiple valve interventions in their lifetime, and choosing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) as the initial intervention may be appealing to many. If their transcatheter heart valve degenerates later in life, most will hope to undergo redo-TAVR.

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. Self-expanding transcatheter heart valves were used in the majority of patients (n=1160; 91.4%). Circulation: Cardiovascular Interventions, Ahead of Print. Poverall=0.765; 1 year: 1.4%

Time to TAVI: streamlining the pathway to treatment

Open Heart

Introduction Severe aortic stenosis is a major cause of morbidity and mortality. The existing treatment pathway for transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) traditionally relies on tertiary Heart Valve Centre workup. Methods The centre performing local workup implemented a novel TAVI referral pathway.

Challenges and Future Directions in Redo Aortic Valve Reintervention After Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement Failure

Circulation: Cardiovascular Interventions

Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is increasingly being performed in younger and lower surgical risk patients. Reintervention for failed transcatheter heart valves will likely increase in the future as younger patients are expected to outlive the initial bioprosthesis.
