TAVR Improves Outcomes in Bioprosthetic Aortic Valve Failure With High Surgical Risk
A study was conducted to evaluate and report valve-in-valve transcatheter aortic valve replacement outcomes at 5 years.
Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement
Racial Gap in Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement Among US Adults with Aortic Stenosis
Researchers sought to compare use of transcatheter aortic valve replacement among White, Black, and Hispanic patients with aortic stenosis.
Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement in Patients With Obstructive Sleep Apnea

Mortality Risk for Patients Receiving Antibiotics, Surgery for TAVI Infective Endocarditis
A study compared clinical characteristics and outcomes between patients with TAVI-IE treated with cardiac surgery and antibiotics and those treated with antibiotics only.
Aortic Stenosis: What Your Patients Need to Know
Aortic stenosis is a condition in which the opening of the aortic valve narrows, restricting blood flow from the heart to the rest of the body. The American Heart Association estimates that over 20% of older Americans have aortic stenosis, referring to it as a condition “common in people over age 65.”¹ Despite its prevalence,…
Atrial Fibrillation After TAVR May Be Associated With Changes in LVMI
The presence of AF after TAVR may be associated with changes in left ventricular mass index.
Procedural Success of TAV-in-TAV vs TAV-in-SAV
Transcatheter aortic valve replacement in failed TAVs was found to be associated with greater procedural success than TAV in failed surgical aortic valve.
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.
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.
