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...
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. Currently, the...

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...
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...
Prosthesis-patient mismatch (PPM) occurs when the effective orifice area (EOA) after valve placement is significantly smaller compared with the patient’s body surface area (BSA), resulting in an increased transprosthetic residual gradient. The presence of PPM, especially in various surgical series, has been associated with long-term adverse clinical events. In relation to transcatheter aortic valve implantation...
