Transcatheter Aortic Valve Therapy Is Not Aortic Valve Replacement

open access: yesThe Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 2009
I read with interest the increasing number of scientific articles involving transcatheter aortic valve replacement. The meaning of the term “replacement” is to substitute something with something else. Yet, at present, the only way to substitute a stenotic aortic valve is to take away the calcific or fibrotic tissue and put in a new prosthetic valve,

Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement in Failed Transcatheter Bioprosthetic Valves

JACC: Cardiovascular Interventions, 2022
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.

Aortic Rupture in Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement

Journal of Invasive Cardiology, 2021
This case demonstrates a rare but catastrophic complication of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). In an era where TAVR is now indicated in low-risk patients, serious complication rates are less frequent. It exemplifies the importance of preparedness for vascular injury, with readiness for vascular covered stenting and potential bail-out ...

Traumatic Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement

Journal of Invasive Cardiology, 2023
A 76-year-old female with severe symptomatic aortic stenosis underwent cardiac CT angiography imaging. Severe calcification of the ascending aorta (porcelain aorta) (Figures 1A and 1B) precluded surgical aortic valve replacement. The aortic annular area, perimeter, and diameter were 372 mm2, 68.5 mm, and 20 mm, respectively.

Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement

Anesthesiology Clinics, 2008
Aortic stenosis is one of the most common valve pathologies found in adults. Aortic valve replacement via a sternotomy and cardiopulmonary bypass is the treatment of choice for patients with symptomatic aortic stenosis with very acceptable risk. However, patients with advanced age and multiple comorbidities carry significant operative risk; operative ...

Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement in Aortic Regurgitation

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 2020
Evidence about safety and efficacy of transcatheter aortic valve replacement remains limited for patients with aortic regurgitation.From the Safety and Efficacy of the J-Valve Ausper System in Patients with Severe Aortic Stenosis and/or Aortic Regurgitation Registry, the clinical outcomes of patients with aortic regurgitation from West China Hospital ...

Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement with CoreValve

Cardiology Clinics, 2013
The treatment of aortic stenosis in high-risk surgical patients is now possible by transcatheter aortic valve replacement. The CoreValve is a new transcatheter valve with a unique design expanding its application in patients with aortic stenosis. The CoreValve is just completing clinical trial in the United States and not yet available for commercial ...

The selection of transcatheter heart valves in transcatheter aortic valve replacement

Trends in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2022
Transcatheter heart valve technology has rapidly progressed since initial approval in the United States. There are currently two widely available transcatheter heart valve delivery systems approved in the US; however limited data exist on optimal device selection for various patient populations.

Transcatheter and Transapical Aortic Valve Replacement

Critical Care Nurse, 2009
Minimally invasive valve replacement is limited to bioprosthetic aortic and pulmonary valves for use in very specific populations of patients. Replacement via trans-catheter and transapical techniques should be used only in patients in whom traditional surgical replacement is deemed an unacceptable risk.
