Transcatheter Mitral Valve Replacement and Thrombosis: A Review
Mitral regurgitation is the most prevalent form of moderate or severe valve disease in developed countries. Surgery represents the standard of care for symptomatic patients with severe mitral regurgitation, but up to 50% of patients are denied surgery ...

Frailty and Five‐Year Mortality After TAVR in Patients Aged 75 Years and Older
In patients aged 75 years and older undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement, frailty assessed by the Clinical Frailty Scale was the most robust geriatric factor independently associated with five‐year mortality. This study highlights the specific prognostic value of frailty beyond short‐term outcomes.
