TCT 2020 | El TAVI parece la solución para todas las válvulas biológicas disfuncionantes

TCT 2020 | TAVR Appears to Be the Solution for All Dysfunctional Biological Valves

TCT 2020 | TAVR Appears to Be the Solution for All Dysfunctional Biological Valves

Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) results durable at 5 years to treat failed surgical bioprosthetic valves and at one year to treat valves percutaneously. Regardless the type of the failed valve, the solution is TAVR. The 5 year follow up of the PARTNER 2 valve-in-valve (ViV) showed that TAVR as treatment for failed surgical bioprosthetic

TCT 2020 | Diferencias en stroke entre SAPIEN 3 y Evolut R que generan sorpresa

TCT 2020 | Surprising Differences in Stroke between SAPIEN 3 and Evolut R

One-year outcomes of the head to head trial between CoreValve Evolut R vs Sapien 3 showed a significantly higher difference in stroke vs. patients receiving the self-expanding valve (Sapien 3 6.9% vs Evolut R 1%; p=0.002). The SOLVE-TAVI randomized 2×2 patients with severe aortic stenosis and high surgical risk to Sapien 3 or Evolut R and

TCT 2020 | Eficacia del dispositivo de protección cerebral TriGUARD 3 durante el TAVI

TCT 2020 | Efficacy of Cerebral Protection Device TriGUARD 3 During TAVR

Cerebral protection device TriGUARD 3, designed to cover all supra-aortic vessels during transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), is safe to use, according to the outcomes of the REFLECT II study. The technical feasibility of the device, which requires transfemoral access, does not seem to have an impact over clinical events. The primary safety endpoint was a VARC-2-defined

TCT 2020 | La Acurate Neo no alcanza la no inferioridad vs la CoreValve Evolut

TCT 2020 | Acurate Neo Does Not Meet Non-Inferiority vs. CoreValve Evolut

The self-expanding Acurate Neo (Boston Scientific) did not meet non-inferiority vs. the self-expanding CoreValve Evolut (Medtronic) in the SCOPE 2 study published in Circulation simultaneously and presented at the virtual TCT 2020. These are bad news for the Acurate Neo, that had already failed to show non-inferiority vs. the Sapien 3 in the SCOPE 1
