The affiliation between a VAMC and an academic medical center allowed for direct comparison between veterans and non-veterans undergoing TAVR by the same operators using the TVT registry. Despite significantly...
Conclusions: The affiliation between a VAMC and an academic medical center allowed for direct comparison between veterans and non-veterans undergoing TAVR by the same operators using the TVT registry. Despite significantly higher rates of comorbidities, veterans had equivalent outcomes compared with non-veterans. This may be in part due to the...
Main pulmonary artery diameter in combination with cardiovascular biomarkers. New possibilities to identify pulmonary hypertension in patients with severe aortic valve stenosis? - Minerva Medica 2022 Jul 13

Conclusions: The MPA diameter remains a controversial parameter for the detection of PH in patients with severe AS. Standing on its own, this non-invasive parameter may not be precise enough to detect PH accurately. Combining this parameter with several biomarkers did not provide significant additional information.

Comparison of outcomes after transcatheter aortic valve replacement between elderly (65-79 years) and super-elderly (≥80 years) patients - PubMed
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35777026/
Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is an effective treatment option for patients with severe symptomatic aortic stenosis. Nonetheless, there is a paucity of data regarding the differences in the clinical...
Conclusion: TAVR was associated with similar safety outcomes in the EG (65–79 years) and the SEG (≥80 years). Advanced age is not negatively associated with clinical outcomes after the TAVR procedure.
