In EARLY TAVR, intervention improved outcomes over waiting in patients with class II or no indications for AVR consideration.

Objective To determine the cost-effectiveness of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) compared with surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) in a high-risk aortic stenosis (AS) population.

HonorHealth Research Institute clinical trial, using non-surgical techniques, showed 86% of patients with a type of usually ...

Introduction In non-elderly adults, aortic valve replacement (AVR) with conventional prostheses yield poor long-term outcomes. Recent publications suggest a benefit of the Ross procedure over ...

The prevalence of aortic stenosis (AS) and amyloid transthyretin cardiomyopathy (ATTR‐CM) increases with age. While the global prevalence of calcific aortic valve disease is estimated to be >2% in ...

Abstract Aortic valve replacement with mechanical or biological heart valves is the treatment of choice for aortic valve stenosis when it is symptomatic or with severe aortic stenosis (≤ 0.6 cm ...

Correct sizing of the valve is critical to minimize paravalvular leakage and this should be performed with transesophageal echocardiography. In addition long-term studies are needed to evaluate ...

Importantly, unlike in aortic valve replacement, with TTVR it’s routine for patients to receive oral anticoagulation, Cahill pointed out, though there’s no consensus thus far on whether warfarin or a ...

Aortic root (AR) and aortic valve (AV) pathologies encompass a wide spectrum including noninfective and infective diseases, such as AR dilation, dissection, and infective endocarditis (IE) which ...
