Successful transcatheter aortic valve replacement approached via a simultaneously implanted Y-graft vascular prosthesis - PubMed

Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is mainly performed using the transfemoral (TF) approach. If the TF approach is difficult, the transapical (TA) or transaortic (TAo) approach is used; however, the...
Conclusion/Relevance: Since the long-term results of AAA are better with open surgery than with endovascular aneurysm repair and the age of indication for TAVR is expected to decrease due to valve-in-valve and other factors, simultaneous surgical AAA replacement and TAVR using a Y-graft vascular prosthesis is an effective treatment option when...
Transcatheter aortic valve implantation in patients with severe symptomatic aortic valve stenosis: systematic review of cost-effectiveness analysis - PubMed
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35708785/
TAVI is potentially a cost-effective alternative to surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) for patients with operable AS with low, intermediate or high risk compared with medical management (MM) for patients...
Conclusions: TAVI is potentially a cost-effective alternative to surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) for patients with operable AS with low, intermediate or high risk compared with medical management (MM) for patients with inoperable AS. TAVI was associated with a significant gain in quality-adjusted life-years in almost all studies...

Conclusions: This study puts in perspective redo-TAVI efficacy and limitations to treat PVR after TAVI. Patient selection for this and other therapies for PVR needs further investigation.
Hemodynamics of self-expanding versus balloon-expandable transcatheter heart valves in relation to native aortic annulus anatomy - Clinical Research in Cardiology

Objectives This study aimed to compare hemodynamic characteristics of different self-expanding (SE) and balloon-expandable (BE) transcatheter heart valves (THV) in relation to native aortic annulus anatomy. Background A patient centered...
Conclusions: Patients with small aortic annular dimensions may benefit hemodynamically from SE THV. With increasing annulus size, BE THV may have advantages since PVR ≥ moderate occurs less frequently.
Elderly aortic stenosis patients' perspectives on treatment goals in transcatheter aortic valvular replacement - PubMed

Among elderly AS patients with varying symptoms who underwent TAVR, symptom burden reduction was the most cited patient-reported goal. Nearly all the patients preferred to live at home after the...
Conclusions: Among elderly AS patients with varying symptoms who underwent TAVR, symptom burden reduction was the most cited patient-reported goal. Nearly all the patients preferred to live at home after the procedure. Encouraging patients to define their specific goals may improve the quality of shared decision-making in such settings.
