TAVI (Transcatheter aortic valve implantation)

Find all the latest content on TAVI published on this website.

TAVI, now an established, valid treatment for patients presenting with symptomatic severe aortic stenosis, has proven to be superior to medical treatment for inoperable patients whilst being a valid alternative to surgery in select, high-risk patients. This topic covers the newest devices and emerging data in TAVI as well as information on tools, devices and techniques such as vascular access; the role of adjunctive pharmacotherapy; imaging techniques such as echocardiography, understanding bleeding risks or patient selection.

POPular TAVI - Antithrombotic Therapy After Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation in Patients With a Long-Term Indication for Oral Anticoagulation

04 Apr 2020

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...

Cardiac Surgery and the COVID-19 outbreak: what does it mean?

25 Mar 2020

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...

Essential reading for understanding data in meta-analyses

23 Mar 2020

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.

Essential reading for understanding data in meta-analyses

Transcatheter aortic valve replacement in low-risk patients with symptomatic severe bicuspid aortic valve stenosis

04 Mar 2020

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.

Predictors of haemodynamic structural valve deterioration following transcatheter aortic valve implantation

02 Mar 2020

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...
