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.

Over the last few decades, treatment of severe AS has been revolutionised following the development of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). Sarcopenia is an independent predictor of short-term and long-term outcomes after TAVR and should be incorporated as a prognostic marker in preprocedural planning.

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.

Modified transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) and left ventricular Apico-Aortic Conduit (AAC) placement were deemed high risk but viable options. Two cases received TAVR and 2 received AAC post-summit. Candidate procedures were evaluated by in-depth examination of 4 cases that typify HGPS clinical pathology.

A new JACC study highlighted the long term benefits of TAVR using the Evolut valve (Medtronic) compared to surgical AVR when it comes to avoiding bioprosthetic valve dysfunction (BVD). However, while both TAVR and SAVR have their benefits in certain populations, few studies compare long-term valve stability between the two.
