aortic valve stenosis

Delayed aortic dissection following TAVI remains a rare, but devastating, complication. The question is whether balloon-expandable valves present a unique biomechanical risk compared to self-expanding alternatives.

Patients undergoing transcarotid transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TCAR TAVR) are at risk of stroke. Monitoring somatosensory-evoked potentials (SSEPs) could provide an early warning sign of cerebral hypoperfusion, allowing for immediate intervention ...

Delayed aortic dissection post-TAVI, though rare, presents a catastrophic risk requiring heightened vigilance. Clinicians should adopt stringent patient selection criteria and refined procedural techniques to mitigate potential complications.

In low-risk aortic stenosis, transcatheter aortic valve replacement has been assessed against surgery using noninferiority frameworks with composite endpoints and limited follow-up. Analyses emphasize selection bias, endpoint heterogeneity, device iteration...

In low-risk aortic stenosis, transcatheter aortic valve replacement rivals surgery for early death and stroke while improving recovery and discharge home, at the cost of more conduction injury and pacemakers. Evidence synthesis favors meticulous heart-team ...

In aortic valve stenosis managed with transcatheter aortic valve implantation, an intensified post-discharge follow-up pathway was evaluated in a randomized feasibility design. The PREMISS trial indicates the approach is operationally workable and acceptabl...

In severe aortic stenosis treated with transcatheter aortic valve replacement , preprocedural cardiac CT quantification of interventricular septal thickness identified patients at higher likelihood of postprocedural permanent pacemaker implantation. Lower s...

In low-risk aortic stenosis , transcatheter aortic valve replacement appears noninferior to surgery at 1 to 2 years with faster early recovery, but device-specific trade-offs persist, including higher permanent pacemaker need and signal variability in strok...

In aortic stenosis managed with transcatheter aortic valve implantation, an intensified follow-up pathway emphasizing early contacts and remote checks was tested for feasibility and care coordination. Feasibility outcomes were achieved, and the workflow app...

A cardiology imaging team reports a spatio-temporal registration approach that fuses multi-perspective 3D echocardiography to enhance myocardial strain estimation. By aligning views in space and time, the pipeline reduces view dependence and mitigates acous...
