The ACURATE neo transcatheter aortic valve is a self-expanding device. Several studies have investigated safety and efficacy, but meta-analysis and pooled data are lacking. We aimed to provide a comprehensive...


Conclusion/Relevance: The ACURATE neo transcatheter aortic valve is a self-expanding device. Several studies have investigated safety and efficacy, but meta-analysis and pooled data are lacking. We aimed to provide a comprehensive systematic review and meta-analysis on the clinical outcomes of transcatheter aortic valve implantation with the...

Albuminuria predicts short-term worsening renal function after transcatheter aortic valve replacement

Albuminuria predicts short-term worsening renal function after transcatheter aortic valve replacement

Source : https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1553838922001270?via=ihub

Available online 24 March 2022 Albuminuria is a major risk factor of cardiovascular events, however, the impact of albuminuria on clinical outcomes of patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR)...



Conclusion: Albuminuria can be a useful predictor of deterioration of renal function at various time points after TAVR.

Fate of Asymptomatic Limb after Kissing Stents in Aortoiliac Occlusive Disease - PubMed

Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35361742/

Kissing stent deployment is a safe and effective strategy for the treatment of aortoiliac bifurcation disease. Unfavorable outcomes due to stenting in the asymptomatic iliac artery are very rare. Long-term...



Conclusion: Kissing stent deployment is a safe and effective strategy for the treatment of aortoiliac bifurcation disease. Unfavorable outcomes due to stenting in the asymptomatic iliac artery are very rare. Long-term surveillance is necessary due to the risk of late thrombosis or downstream disease progression.
