Remote Ischemic Preconditioning Neither Improves Survival nor Reduces Myocardial or Kidney Injury in Patients Undergoing Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Peri-interventional myocardial injury occurs frequently during transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). We assessed the effect of remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) on myocardial injury, acute kidney injury (AKIN) and 6-month ...

Matryoshka procedure for Valve‐in‐Valve TAVI failure
Valve‐in‐valve transcatheter valve implantation (ViV‐TAVI) procedures for deteriorated bioprosthesis are an established therapeutic option for high‐risk patients. The presence of the fixed sewing ring of the bioprosthesis can hamper appropriate expansion
