Heart-Valve-Surgery.Com and Medtronic Launch Novel "Aortic Stenosis Patient Activation Platform" to Empower Patients

DAIC

Kendra Grubb , Surgical Director of the Emory Structural Heart & Valve Center , approximately 40%† of patients with aortic stenosis in the United States do not get treatment because their symptoms are often misdiagnosed or ignored2. To explore the TAVR Heart Team Finder, please click here.

Heart Valve Collaboratory Framework For Post-TAVR TVF Imaging

American College of Cardiology

The Heart Valve Collaboratory has proposed a framework to standardize best practices for using multimodality imaging in transcatheter valve failure (TVF) following transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), in a State-of-the-Art Review.

The importance of tissue science and valve design in relation to durability and hemodynamics of the DurAVR aortic heart valve

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

IntroductionClinical evidence highlighting the efficacy and safety of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) and the 2019 Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for TAVR in low-risk (younger) patients has created a demand for durable and long-lasting bioprosthetic heart valve (BHV) leaflet materials.

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.

'Tootsie Roll' Introduced for Leaky Transcatheter Heart Valves

Med Page Today

(MedPage Today) -- Operators reported the initial success of a novel transcatheter technique for treating complex paravalvular leaks (PVLs) after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) or transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR) in.

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).

Case Report: A case of transcatheter aortic valve replacement in a patient with a small aortic annulus using the Acurate Neo2

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Small aortic annulus poses a major challenge in aortic valve replacement due to the increased risk of prosthesispatient mismatch (PPM) and increased surgical risk. In recent years, transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has emerged as a popular alternative to the traditional surgical aortic valve replacement.
