A Reassessment of Prophylactic Antibiotics in Low‐Infection‐Risk Electrophysiology Procedures

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Certain electrophysiology (EP) procedures are associated with minimal tissue disruption and do not involve permanent transvenous leads. As a result, these interventions carry a lower risk of device‐ or procedure‐related infection. These procedures include placement of implantable cardiac monitors, leadless pacemakers, and left atrial appendage

Feasibility of Left Bundle Branch Pacing and Management of Jailed Leads After Transcatheter Tricuspid Valve Implantation

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Atrioventricular conduction disturbances and the need for cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) therapy are frequently required after transcatheter tricuspid valve implantation (TTVI). The interaction between the annulus, transcatheter heart valve and the leads is often complex and the optimal management under debate.

Dyssynchrony without dysfunction: Left bundle branch block does not acutely reduce cardiac output

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Six electromechanical in silico heart models were simulated under healthy and pure acute left bundle branch block (LBBB) conditions. LBBB induced electrical dyssynchrony and increased left ventricular free wall strain, while the right and left ventricular ejection fraction remained relatively unchanged.

Effectiveness of an online patient education video for transcatheter aortic valve implantation

Anxiety and gaps in medical knowledge have been shown to adversely affect treatment decisions amongst patients and their next-of-kin (NOK).1-3 In a busy clinical setting, physicians may find it time-consuming and challenging to address all aspects of a ...

Minimally invasive approach to calcified aortic valve replacement: Anaesthetic considerations

Indian Journal of Anaesthesia, 2015
For symptomatic patients with severe calcified aortic valve stenosis, open heart surgery for aortic valve replacement remains the gold standard. However, elderly patients with an increased risk profile can be treated by using transcatheter approaches ...

An Ascorbic‐Acid Containing Poly(Carbonate) Urethane With Antioxidant Bioactivity for Application in Heart Valve Scaffold Development

Journal of Biomedical Materials Research Part A, Volume 114, Issue 11, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Prosthetic heart valve development consists of several branching, innovative strategies to mediate the complex native environment that wears down valve durability. Anti‐calcification treatments are being applied to pericardial tissue, durable polymers are being developed that mitigate oxidative degradation and stress cracking, and heart valve ...

Cost effectiveness of aortic valve therapies: a systematic review of the literature

Epidemiology, Biostatistics and Public Health, 2022
Background: we performed a systematic review on the cost effectiveness of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) to standard aortic valve replacement and medical management in high-risk elderly patients with severe aortic stenosis. Methods:

Echocardiography in transcatheter aortic valve implantation

Turk Kardiyoloji Dernegi Arsivi-Archives of the Turkish Society of Cardiology, 2016
Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is a novel therapeutic option, recommended for the treatment of patients with severe aortic stenosis who are at high risk from conventional open surgery. Multiple registries have documented favorable outcomes, including survival and quality of life. Success of TAVI depends upon the consideration of patient
