Gastrointestinal bleeding during the transcatheter aortic valve replacement perioperative period: A Review
technology and increasing experience of the operators, TAVR is regarded as a safe and feasible procedure. Bleeding events during the TAVR perioperative period, especially gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding, have been proven...
Relevance: This study aimed to characterize the pathology of TAVR patients and discuss treatment strategies for GI bleeding during the perioperative period.
Accurate sizing of bicuspid valves for TAVR - where do we draw the line?
AsiaIntervention 2022;8:71-73 | 10.4244/AIJ-E-22-00005 Ramesh Daggubati 1, MD; Mouhamed Amr Sabouni 2, MD; Yasar Sattar 1, MD 1. Department of Cardiology, West Virginia University School of Medicine, Morgantown, WV, USA;...
Conclusions/Relevance: This is the beginning of a new era for BAV TAVR, in terms of a focus on reduction of complications. A randomised clinical trial with longer follow-up is required in order to draw more extensive guidelines for the accurate sizing of TAVR valves and to draw any conclusions regarding such an important challenge in the TAVR...

Conclusion: Overinflating a smaller-sized S3U THV may be a safer option in comparison to nominal sizing in patients with borderline annular area.
Risk factors and clinical effects of subclinical leaflet thrombosis after transcatheter aortic valve replacement

AimsThe number of trans-catheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) procedure is increasing; However, the incidence of leaflet thrombosis is higher in TAVR than in surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR).
Conclusion: Larger indexed SOV diameter, higher AV calcium volume, and smaller post-procedure AV EOA were risk factors for subclinical leaflet thrombosis after TAVR. Subclinical leaflet thrombosis has a benign course when properly managed.
