Coronary artery disease is common among patients considered for transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). With the expansion of the indication for TAVI to a population with lower surgical risk, and therefore younger, there has been a gradual increase in the incidence of coronary events. However, there is limited data on treatment strategy and outcomes in<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2024/05/04/acute-myocardial-infarction-after-tavi-retrospective-analysis-of-200000-implants/" title="Read more" >...</a>
Guidewire Pacing and Pressure Assessment in TAVR: The SAFE-TAVI Study
Currently, the number of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) procedures is increasing as it expands towards a lower-risk younger population. Therefore, continuous technological advancement is imperative to reduce post-procedural complications. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved the SavyWire, a preformed 0.035-gauge guidewire that can perform three essential functions: 1) it facilitates prosthesis transportation<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2024/03/20/guidewire-pacing-and-pressure-assessment-in-tavr-the-safe-tavi-study/" title="Read more" >...</a>
Should We Treat Obstructive Coronary Artery Disease in TAVI?
Coronary artery disease, both obstructive and non-obstructive, often coexists with significant aortic stenosis. Therapeutic decision-making in this scenario remains controversial, not only regarding the need for treatment, but also about when it should be addressed, considering its pros and cons. Various analyses have yielded contradictory data, as most lesions are chronic and stable.

SAFE-TAVI Study: Safety and Efficacy of the Pressure Sensor and Pacing Guidewire
Currently, we observe an increase in the number of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) procedures due to its expansion toward a younger population with lower risk. For this reason, it is crucial to maintain continuous technological innovation to minimize post-procedural complications. The FDA has approved the SavyWire, a preformed 0.035-caliber guidewire that offers three essential<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2023/12/14/safe-tavi-study-safety-and-efficacy-of-the-pressure-sensor-and-pacing-guidewire/" title="Read more" >...</a>
TAVI-in-TAVI with Balloon-Expandable Valves
TAVI (Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation) has proven to be beneficial and is currently performed in increasingly younger and lower-risk patients. However, as with surgical bioprostheses, structural deterioration, whether due to stenosis or regurgitation, is one of the challenges we must address. While currently uncommon, this is an issue we will probably see more and more<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2023/09/12/tavi-in-tavi-with-balloon-expandable-valves/" title="Read more" >...</a>
