Combination Use of Inoue-Balloon and Self-Expandable Transcatheter Valves in Managing Aortic Stenosis Not Amenable to Balloon-Expandable Valves

Data on the combined use of aortic Inoue-Balloon catheter and self-expandable transcatheter valve for patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) are lacking. This study aimed to assess the feasibility...
Conclusions: The combined use of the size-adjustable Inoue-Balloon catheter and self-expandable valve is safe, particularly in patients who cannot be safely managed with balloon-expandable valves. However, further studies are warranted to elucidate concerns regarding the durability of self-expandable transcatheter valves after post-dilation...

Conclusions: Frailty is associated with mortality and poor QOL in the overall and non-cancer cohorts. Further investigation is warranted to understand frailty's effect on the cancer population. Frailty should be heavily considered during TAVR evaluation.

Conclusions: In patients with chronic kidney disease, the risk of postprocedural AKI might be higher after SAVR than after TAVR.
Transcatheter aortic valve replacement in patients undergoing robotic totally endoscopic coronary artery bypass: A case series
Source : https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9510675/
Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has been utilized to treat patients with symptomatic aortic stenosis (AS). Recent trials suggest comparable efficacy compared to surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR). Robotic off-pump...
Conclusion/Relevance: Since patients with severe aortic stenosis are at high risk of developing cardiac arrest and cardiogenic shock upon induction of anesthesia, the ability to treat severe symptomatic AS with TAVR under conscious sedation prior to TECAB can be considered as a safe an effective treatment.
