Comparison of strategies for vascular ACCESS closure after transcatheter aortic valve implantation: the ACCESS-TAVI randomized trial

04 Nov 2024

The present study explores the alternative of 1 suture-based + 1 plug closure device vs. the conventional one, finding a superiority of this approach in achieving the full closure, hemostasis with a reduced incidence of complications.

Structural cardiac interventions in patients with heart failure

27 Aug 2024

The review aims to address the unmet needs in heart failure (HF) management, particularly in patients where structural heart disease coexists with HF and limits the effectiveness of guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT).

Prognostic implications of residual tricuspid regurgitation grading after transcatheter tricuspid valve repair

18 Jun 2024

The take-home message for clinicians is that in the treatment of tricuspid regurgitation, the most frequent valvular disease alongside aortic stenosis, redefining procedural success as a function of the residual degree of TR is crucial.

Prediction of mortality and heart failure hospitalization after transcatheter tricuspid valve interventions: Validation of TRISCORE

25 Apr 2024

This study highlights the TRISCORE's role in assessing risk for patients undergoing TTVI. Despite limitations, TRISCORE effectively identifies high-risk patients, aiding decision-making in a complex landscape of valvular heart disease management.

Non–vitamin K antagonist versus vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulant agents after transcatheter aortic valve replacement

19 Mar 2024

This study demonstrates that, at 5 years post TAVI in patients with an indication for OAC, the net clinical benefit did not differ between the VKA and DOAC groups.
