Extremity Function After Transfemoral Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation: A TAVI XS Sub‐Study

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Physical decline after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is associated with worse outcomes. However, data on post‐TAVI extremity function are limited. This sub‐study of the TAVI XS trial aimed to assess extremity function after transfemoral TAVI, evaluate functional decline, compare outcomes between upper‐and lower ...

4.7 THE EFFECT OF TRANSCATHETER AORTIC VALVE IMPLANTATION ON AORTIC STIFFNESS AND HEMODYNAMICS

Artery Research, 2018
Purpose/Background/Objectives: Aortic stiffness and central hemodynamics are established vascular biomarkers. Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is a promising new technique for the treatment of aortic valve stenosis in elderly patients.

Fluid dynamics of aortic root dilation in Marfan syndrome

, 2014
Aortic root dilation and propensity to dissection are typical manifestations of the Marfan Syndrome (MS), a genetic defect leading to the degeneration of the elastic fibres. Dilation affects the structure of the flow and, in turn, altered flow may play a

Recanalization of Thrombosed Atrial Flow Regulator in Failing Fontan: A Bridge to Transplant

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We report the case of a 10‐year‐old boy (41 kg, 133 cm) with hypoplastic left heart syndrome (mitral and aortic atresia), who underwent staged palliation: Norwood‐Sano at 6 days, Glenn at 7 months, and Fontan completion at 3 years using a 16 mm non‐fenestrated extracardiac Gore‐Tex conduit.

The Verification of Co‐Axiality of the Three Self‐Expanding Transcatheter Aortic Valve Systems According to the Difference in Shaft Spine

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Accurate bioprosthesis implantation depth during transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is crucial for optimal outcomes. Self‐expanding valves (SEVs) have evolved delivery catheter designs, from a double spine shaft in Evolut PRO+ (PRO + ) to single spine in Evolut FX (FX) and non‐spine in Navitor, to improve access ...
