Among low-risk patients with severe, symptomatic aortic stenosis who underwent TAVR or surgery, there was no significant between-group difference in the two primary composite outcomes.

Successful Closure of Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement-Induced Gerbode Defect With Valve-in-Valve Technique: a Case Report
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37855208/
We present the first documented case of a successful closure of a transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR)-induced Gerbode defect using a valve-in-valve approach. A 90-year-old female with severe aortic stenosis...
A 90-year-old woman with severe AS underwent TAVR. Following post-dilatation, the patient experienced hemodynamic deterioration and collapse and development of a Gerbode defect. Hemodynamic stabilization was achieved through pericardiocentesis, followed by the low implantation of a second valve, effectively sealing the rupture.

Right Ventricle to Pulmonary Artery Coupling in Severe Aortic Stenosis With Preserved Ejection Fraction
The aim of this retrospective study of consecutive patients diagnosed with severe AS between 2007 and 2020 was to analyze the relationship between the TAPSE/sPAP ratio and all-cause mortality during follow-up.
The QRS Frontal Plane Axis Changes During Left Bundle Branch Block After Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37830375/
Although post TAVR-LBBB is associated with a leftward QRS axis shift in most patients, a non-negligible proportion of patients (27%) exhibited a rightward or no QRS axis shift. The latter...
Kissing Balloon Inflation for Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement and Abutting Ostial Coronary Artery Stent
Source : https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10562087/
In patients with ostial coronary stents protruding into the aorta, there is concern for stent injury while undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) with balloon-expandable transcatheter heart valve (THV). An...
In patients with ostial coronary stents protruding into the aorta, stent to aortic wall distance is important to determine the possibility of balloon-induced stent injury during balloon-expandable transcatheter heart valve deployment. Kissing-balloon inflation may be performed to prevent stent injury.
