TAVR Found Non-Inferior to SAVR for Low-Risk Patients

DAIC

TAVR and SAVR are procedures to replace a damaged aortic valve that is not functioning properly. TAVR and SAVR are procedures to replace a damaged aortic valve that is not functioning properly. The DEDICATE-DZHK6 trial compared TAVR vs. SAVR in 1,414 patients who underwent valve replacement procedures at 38 centers in Germany.

Self-Expanding Valve Outperforms Balloon-Expandable Valve for TAVR in Patients with Small Valve Annulus

DAIC

The SMART trial is the first randomized head-to-head comparison of the two most widely used TAVR devices—the supra-annular self-expanding Evolut PRO/PRO+/FX and the balloon-expandable SAPIEN 3/3 Ultra. The trial enrolled 716 patients who underwent TAVR at 83 international sites in North America, Europe and the Middle East.

Impact of aortic valve replacement in symptomatic low-risk patients with less than severe aortic stenosis

Open Heart

Objective To evaluate whether transcatheter or surgical aortic valve replacement (TAVR or SAVR) affects clinical and haemodynamic outcomes in symptomatic patients with moderately-severe aortic stenosis (AS). Valve haemodynamics improved following TAVR (AVA 2.5±0.7 <aortic valve area (AVA)<1.5 cm 2 , 3.0<peak

Transcatheter aortic valve replacement in heart failure

European Journal of Heart Failure

TAVR in heart failure. The use of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has become the preferred therapy for most patients with AS and concomitant HF. The prognostic covariates and optimal timing of TAVR in patients with less than severe AS remain unclear.
