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...

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.
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...
