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.

Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is a treatment of choice in patients with symptomatic severe aortic valve stenosis (AS) and intermediate-to-high surgical risk. The presence of a small aortic annulus...
Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is a treatment of choice in patients with symptomatic severe aortic valve stenosis (AS) and intermediate-to-high surgical risk. The presence of a small aortic annulus (SAA) has been associated with a higher incidence of prosthesis–patient mismatch (PPM) when surgical aortic valve replacement...
Cardiac Catheterization, Coronary Intervention, and Wait Times for Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37799044/
TAVR wait times were not affected by the COVID-19 pandemic or single rural TAVR center travel distance. Sicker patients were more likely to achieve STWT while catheterization/PCI before TAVR was...
TAVR wait times were not affected by the COVID-19 pandemic or single rural TAVR center travel distance. Sicker patients were more likely to achieve STWT while catheterization/PCI before TAVR was associated with longer wait times.
A Novel Score to Predict One-Year Mortality After Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement, Naples Prognostic Score
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37763785/
Background and Objectives : Aortic stenosis (AS) is a widespread valvular disease in developed countries, primarily among the elderly. Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has become a viable alternative to...
Our results show that NPS is an independent predictor of one-year mortality in patients undergoing TAVR.
Two-Year Outcomes of Valve-in-Valve Using New-Generation Transcatheter Devices Compared With Redo-SAVR
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37778227/
Few studies have compared the clinical outcomes between valve-in-valve transcatheter aortic valve replacement (ViV-TAVR) with new-generation valves and re-operative surgical aortic valve replacement (Redo-SAVR). We compared the clinical outcomes of...
The long-term outcomes of ViV-TAVR using new-generation valves were similar to those of Redo-SAVR, although ViV-TAVR was associated with lower rates of in-hospital complications.
