If you’ve been diagnosed with aortic stenosis, you might have come across the term TAVR. If you’re wondering “ What is TAVR ?” Understanding Aortic Stenosis The aortic valve regulates blood flow from your heart’s main pumping chamber to the rest of your body. Who Is a Candidate for TAVR?

Objectives To understand the patient and hospital level drivers of the variation in surgical versus trascatheter aortic valve replacement (SAVR vs TAVR) for patients with aortic stenosis (AS) and to explore whether this variation translates into differences in clinical outcomes.

The primary outcome was a composite of all-cause mortality or hospital readmission within 1 year. CONCLUSIONS:Daily step counts rapidly increased within the first 2 months post-TAVR. However, above 5000 steps, step counts were not significantly associated with the composite outcome (P=0.645), with a hazard ratio of 1.12 (0.70–1.79).CONCLUSIONS:Daily

Background:The optimal treatment in patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS) and small aortic annulus (SAA) remains to be determined. Participants were 151 patients with severe AS and SAA (mean diameter <23 mm) were randomized (1:1) to TAVR (n=77) vs SAVR (n=74), The primary outcome was impaired valve hemodynamics (i.e.

An 84-year-old woman was referred for transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) following severe symptomatic aortic stenosis (valve area 0.9 cm2, peak and mean transaortic pressure gradients of 63 and 32 mmHg, respectively). She had a medical history of renal cell carcinoma post nephrectomy with a creatinine level of 1.7mg/l.

Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is increasing in popularity for symptomatic severe aortic stenosis. Transfemoral arterial route is the most commonly used approach for TAVR, also known as TAVI or transcatheter aortic valve implantation. No calcifications in the artery causing vascular stenosis.

A transthoracic echocardiogram showed an LV EF of less than 15%, critically severe aortic stenosis , severe LVH , and a small LV cavity. The aortic valve in this example also had critical stenosis by Doppler The patient continued to be hemodynamically unstable with poor cardiac output and very high LV filling pressures.

BACKGROUND:Current guidelines recommend surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) for patients with severe aortic stenosis and unfavorable iliofemoral access. Transcarotid transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TC-TAVR) has emerged as an alternative access in suboptimal transfemoral candidates, but no data exist comparing TC-TAVR and SAVR.
