Transcatheter vs surgical aortic valve replacement for bicuspid aortic valve disease

open access: yesSurgical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has emerged as an acceptable and often preferred alternative to surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) for patients with severe aortic stenosis. However, the mid‐ and long‐term efficacy of TAVR in patients with bicuspid aortic valves (BAVs) remains unclear.

Impact of Frailty in Patients With Continuous‐Flow Left Ventricular Assist Device Therapy in End‐Stage Heart Failure: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

open access: yesArtificial Organs, EarlyView.
Frailty significantly impacts clinical outcomes in LVAD recipients. This systematic review and meta‐analysis reveal that frail patients experience higher long‐term mortality but comparable short‐term mortality, hospital stay, and complication rates to non‐frail patients.

Influence of Preoperative Anatomical Characteristics on the Direction of Inflow Cannula in HeartMate 3

open access: yesArtificial Organs, EarlyView.
The IC direction in HM3 was influenced by the mitral valve height from the LV apex, distance between the LV apex and chest wall, and thoracic depth from the LV apex. Moreover, the IC direction in HM3 had little influence on the flow, PAWP and the survival rate of patients.
