TAVI (Transcatheter aortic valve implantation)

Consult this Twitter case concerning a patient with severely diseased aorta, and no options for transvascular or transapical approach who underwent self-expandable TAVI through sheathless transcaval approach

NEW YORK – PCR and CRF are pleased to announce the creation of virtual Partners in Learning sessions that will be broadcast during the PCR e-Course (June 25-27, 2020 - #PCReCourse) and CRF’s TVT Connect meeting (June 18-28, 2020). The sessions, which will cover coronary artery...

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.

An 83-year-old male admitted for heart failure and chest pain, needs to undergo TA-TAVI because of severe PAD and has concomitant CAD with critical calcified lesion of the ULM-LAD...

The POPular TAVI trial is an open label randomized study designed to evaluate oral anticoagulation (OAC) alone compared with OAC plus clopidogrel for 3 months in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) with a long-term indication for oral anticoagulation. Those who had undergone percutaneous revascularization...

This retrospective study represents the first direct comparison among different transcatheter SEVs in patients characterized by small annuli undergoing TAVI.

A severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) outbreak has been declared a Public Health Emergency of International Concern by the WHO since January 2020. The rapid, exponential, increase in confirmed cases makes prevention and control of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) extremely critical. Although clinical manifestations of...

A good systematic review and meta-analysis can be a great help in sorting out apparently conflicting studies. But the results of meta-analyses themselves can vary. We need more people to be able to read them critically, and to see why meta-analyses become conflicting results themselves.

In the absence of randomized trials to study TAVR in bicuspid arotic stenosis in low-risk patients, prospective cohort studies such as Low-Risk TAVR provide us with valuable information.

Elevated gradients have been proposed to be associated with haemodynamic structural valve deterioration (SVD) after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI); however, data regarding their characterisation remain scarce. This study sought to investigate the prevalence and predictors of moderate or greater SVD and the prevalence of valve...

Live updates on a selection of major Late Breaking Clinical Trials of interest in interventional cardiology presented at the American College of Cardiology 2020 Scientific Sessions #ACC20.

PCR is proud to announce the launch of a new educational workshop for TAVI practitioners, taking place on 21-22 March 2020 in Sao Paulo, Brazil. With the practice of TAVI rapidly emerging in Latin America, this initiative responds to the need for high-quality education in order to...
