ACTIVATION (percutAneous Coronary inTervention prIor to transcatheter aortic VAlve implantaTION): a randomized clinical trial
19 Oct 2021
In conducting the ACTIVATION trial, Redwood and colleagues seek to complement the existing literature with high-level evidence on whether percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) prior to TAVR is non-inferior to conservative (no PCI) management.

Valve-in-valve transcatheter aortic valve implantation versus repeat surgical aortic valve replacement in patients with a failed aortic bioprosthesis
24 Sep 2021
Structural valve deterioration remains the Achilles heel of both SAVR and TAVI. Since indications for TAVI have expanded to low-risk patients in 2019, this clinical scenario poses a significant conundrum for physicians and surgeons, as the number of patients undergoing aortic valve interventions continues to grow...

Eight-year outcomes for patients with aortic valve stenosis at low surgical risk randomized to transcatheter vs. surgical aortic valve replacement
09 Jul 2021
Read more about the Nordic Aortic Valve Intervention (NOTION) trial to compare clinical outcomes and durability of bioprosthetic aortic valves 8 years after TAVI and SAVR.

Impact of anesthesia strategy and valve type on clinical outcomes after transcatheter aortic valve replacement
07 May 2021
The current analysis aimed to compare the safety and efficacy of the Edwards Sapien S3 and Medtronic Corevalve. Furthermore, conscious sedation (CS) and local anaesthesia have been reported to reduce adverse events compared to general anaesthesia (GA) in several observational studies, with a lack of randomised...

Prognostic implications of cardiac damage classification based on computed tomography in severe aortic stenosis
03 May 2021
In the PARTNER II trial, a new staging system of extra-aortic valvular cardiac damage is proposed, using 2 D transthoracic echocardiography and its prognostic value. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the prognostic value of such extra-aortic cardiac damage using MDCT in patients undergoing...

Transcarotid vs subclavian/axillary access for transcatheter aortic valve replacement with SAPIEN 3
20 Aug 2020
The purpose of this study is to report outcomes of TC and TAx access using the Edwards SAPIEN 3 and SAPIEN 3 Ultra valves from the Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS)/American College of Cardiology (ACC) Transcatheter Valve Therapies (TVT) Registry.

Transcatheter aortic valve replacement in bicuspid versus tricuspid aortic valves from the STS/ACC TVT registry
09 Jun 2020
TAVR with self-expandable bioprosthesis appears to be an acceptable therapeutic strategy in patients with bicuspid aortic valve disease.
