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.

The utility of rapid atrial pacing immediately post-TAVR to predict the need for pacemaker implantation

04 May 2020

The investigators proposed rapid atrial pacing (RAP) to further risk-stratify patients for post-TAVR PPI. Atrial pacing can be easily performed during the TAVR procedure since a temporary pacemaker (TPM) is routinely positioned in the right ventricle during valve implantation.
