TAVR Volumes in the U.S. Have Risen Each Year Since 2011
In 2019, TAVR exceeded surgical procedures; 30-day mortality and stroke rates decreased since 2011.
Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement
Value of Emory Risk Score to Predict Permanent Pacemaker Implantation After TAVR
The Emory risk score was found to have modest value for predicting permanent pacemaker implantation.
Assessing Coronary Cannulation Failures With Several TAV Devices
Coronary cannulation failures following transcatheter aortic valve replacement were found to be higher in patients receiving Evolut TAVs.
Outcomes With 2 Self-Expanding Bioprostheses in TAVR for Symptomatic Severe Aortic Stenosis
Outcomes of transfemoral TAVR for symptomatic severe aortic stenosis were comparable with the self-expanding transcatheter ACURATE neo valve or the CoreValve Evolut valve.
Tricuspid Annular Dilation May Predict Mortality After TAVR for Severe Stenosis
Tricuspid annular dilation may be an independent predictor of all-cause mortality after transcatheter aortic valve replacement for severe aortic stenosis.
Comparing Structural Valve Deterioration With SAPIEN XT, SAPIEN 3 TAVR, SAVR
The second-generation SAPIEN XT balloon-expandable valve was found to have a higher 5-year rate of structural valve deterioration compared with surgical aortic valve replacement.
Pigtail/J-Wire Technique Found to Be Rapid and Effective for Crossing Stenotic Aortic Valves
A novel pigtail/J-wire technique for crossing stenotic aortic valves was found to be rapid, simple, and safe to implement.
Outcomes With Use of Sentinel Cerebral Protection System in TAVR
The Sentinel cerebral protection system was associated with a lower incidence of ischemic stroke and in-hospital mortality in patients undergoing TAVR.
Aspirin Alone vs in Combination With Clopidogrel After TAVI
Treatment with aspirin alone vs in combination with clopidogrel was found to be associated with fewer bleeding events, 1 year after transcatheter aortic-valve implantation.
Assessing the Performance of Surgical Risk Prediction Models for TAVR
Risk models routinely used for predicting 30-day mortality risk after TAVR were found to have mediocre discrimination performance.
