There’s No Clear King of TAVR Valves

CardiacWire

Cardiologists have a wide selection of TAVR valves to choose from, and a new study pitting the top three second generation devices against each other suggests theres not much difference in the long run. So far, we havent known the long-term clinical outcomes of second-generation devices for TAVR beyond five years after implantation.

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.

Early TAVR trial : Too early to call

Dr. S. Venkatesan MD

While the numbers increase, still the debate between SAVR and TAVR is riddled with speculation, skepticism, and absolute confidence. Expected to improve with polymer valves) The latest trial to join the litereture is EARLY TAVR in October 2024 Here is a brief, personal comment about the paper for non-academic consumption.
