Comparison of the Performance of a Sutureless Bioprosthesis With Two Pericardial Stented Valves on Small Annuli: An In Vitro Study [PDF]
Aortic valve replacement has evolved recently with the development of the sutureless bioprosthesis. One such valve is the Perceval bioprosthesis, which is built by mounting leaflets of bovine pericardium to a thin stent; this approach has the potential ...

A Streamline Strategy for Indication and Length of Telemetry Monitoring After TAVR
ABSTRACT Background Both indication and length of ECG telemetry monitoring (TM) after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) are not well defined. Aims We hypothesize that a targeted strategy for monitoring conductive disorders (CD) post‐TAVR can reduce the need and duration of in‐hospital TM without compromising safety. Methods We prospectively

Prosthetic Mitral Valve Endocarditis due to Vagococcus fluvialis: A Case Report
Infective endocarditis (IE) is an uncommon but life‐threatening disease, most frequently caused by Staphylococcus aureus, streptococci, and enterococci. Vagococcus fluvialis is a Gram‐stain positive coccus, phenotypically close to enterococci, and rarely identified in human infections due to diagnostic challenges.
