Conclusions and Relevance: The REPRISE III trial found that, at 5 years, the clinical outcomes of the Lotus valve were comparable to those of the CoreValve/EvolutR and that the Lotus valve was safe and effective.
Declining Trend of Transapical Access for Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement in Patients with Aortic Stenosis

Introduction . The last decade has witnessed major evolution and shifts in the use of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) for severe aortic stenosis (AS). Included among the shifts has...
Conclusions: Conclusion: This study highlights a steady decline in TA access for TAVR, higher inpatient mortality, increased length of stay, and higher costs compared to non-TA-TAVR.
Transcatheter aortic valve replacement in the developing world: Lessons learnt and its implications for practice

Conclusions: "Conclusions: TAVR is an effective treatment modality in intermediate and high-risk Indian patients with severe aortic stenosis. Patients with bicuspid or previous bio prosthetic aortic valves also have a good outcome post TAVR."
Impact of Periprocedural Pulmonary Hypertension on Outcomes After Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement

The aim of this study was to investigate the prognostic impact of normalized, new-onset, and residual PH after TAVR. The OCEAN-TAVI (Optimized Transcatheter Valvular Intervention-Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation) registry is...
Conclusions: Risk stratification on the basis of post-TAVR PH status can identify patients at increased mortality after TAVR. Prosthesis-patient mismatch was identified as a novel predictor of new-onset PH. "
