Pathology of Transcatheter Valve Therapy [PDF]
This study sought to report on the pathology of transcatheter aortic valves explanted at early and late time points after transcatheter aortic valve implantation.Information on pathological findings following transcatheter aortic valve implantation is scarce, particularly late after transcatheter aortic valve implantation.This study included 20 ...

Repeat Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement for Transcatheter Prosthesis Dysfunction [PDF]
Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) use is increasing in patients with longer life expectancy, yet robust data on the durability of transcatheter heart valves (THVs) are limited. Redo-TAVR may play a key strategy in treating patients in whom THVs fail.The authors sought to examine outcomes following redo-TAVR.The Redo-TAVR registry collected ...

Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement in Failed Transcatheter Bioprosthetic Valves
Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is increasingly being performed in younger and lower surgical risk patients. Given the longer life expectancy of these patients, the bioprosthetic valve will eventually fail, and aortic valve reintervention may be necessary.

Transcatheter and Doppler waveform correlation in transcatheter aortic valve replacement [PDF]
Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has become the preferred therapy for treatment of severe aortic stenosis in patients at intermediate to high risk of perioperative mortality following surgical aortic valve replacement. Haemodynamic assessment is an integral part of the procedure, and it is crucial for the operator to have an in-depth ...

Transcatheter Replacement of Transcatheter Versus Surgically Implanted Aortic Valve Bioprostheses [PDF]
Surgical aortic valve replacement and transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) are now both used to treat aortic stenosis in patients in whom life expectancy may exceed valve durability. The choice of initial bioprosthesis should therefore consider the relative safety and efficacy of potential subsequent interventions.The aim of this study was to ...

The hemodynamics of transcatheter aortic valves in transcatheter aortic valves
The durability of transcatheter aortic valves (TAVs) remains their greatest disadvantage, given that fixed tissue leaflets are not immune to structural degeneration from calcification and thrombosis. Therefore, a second intervention is necessary, especially given that TAV in low-risk patients has shown noninferior outcomes compared with surgery.

Mitral Transcatheter Technologies [PDF]
Mitral valve regurgitation (MR) is often diagnosed in patients with heart failure and is associated with worsening of symptoms and reduced survival. While surgery remains the gold standard treatment in low-risk patients with degenerative MR, in high-risk patients and in those with functional MR, transcatheter procedures are emerging as an alternative ...

Transcatheter Tricuspid Valve Interventions: A Triumph for Transcatheter Procedures?
Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is a common valvular pathology, estimated to affect 1.6 million people in the United States alone. Even though guidelines recommend either medical therapy or surgical treatment for TR, the misconception of TR as a benign disease along with the high mortality rates of surgical intervention led to undertreating this disease ...

Local versus general anesthesia for transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVR)- systematic review and meta-analysis [PDF]
The hypothesis of this study was that local anesthesia with monitored anesthesia care (MAC) is not harmful in comparison to general anesthesia (GA) for patients undergoing Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVR).TAVR is a rapidly spreading ...

Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation in Dialysis Patients [PDF]
Background/Aims: Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has emerged as a new therapeutic option for high-risk patients. However, dialysis patients were excluded from all previous studies.
