EuroPCR 2023 | TAVR in TAVR Results with Balloon-Expandable Valves

With the expansion of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) use in the low-risk population, more patients will need repeat valve replacement in the future, making it paramount to understand the performance of repeat TAVR. Currently, this information is limited. The aim of this study was to analyze the real-world experience of performing a second TAVR

EuroPCR 2023 | ACURATE Neo2: Results After 5 Years

The ACURATE Neo2 valve is an evolution of the first-generation ACURATE Neo valve with a low rate of pacemaker implantation and a decrease in paravalvular leak, also compatible with the 14F introducer. This prospective study included patients with symptomatic severe aortic stenosis at high surgical risk who underwent ACURATE Neo2 valve implantation. The primary endpoint

EuroPCR 2023 | TAVR in Patients with Bicuspid Aortic Valve Stenosis

Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) stenosis is the most common congenital valve disease, affecting up to 2% of the population. Patients with BAV disease undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) account for 0.5%. In this context, TAVR data on BAV stenosis patients has been limited to observational studies on first generation valves that had resulted in

EuroPCR 2023 |Chimney Stenting vs BASILICA for the Prevention of Coronary Obstruction during TAVR

Coronary obstruction is a complication from TAVR that can cause death (up to 50% mortality), even though its incidence is lower than 1%.  One of the most frequent strategies used in the prevention of this complication is chimney stenting in patients at high anatomical risk (valve in valve, narrow sinotubular junction, short coronary ostium height).

EuroPCR 2023 |TAVR in Cardiogenic Shock

Patients presenting aortic stenosis with cardiogenic shock are at extreme risk, with 70% mortality until the aortic obstruction is resolved, and taking into account they make poor transplant candidates. Safety and efficacy of TAVR in patients with cardiogenic shock remains unclear. The aim of this study was to assess events in patients undergoing TAVR with

EuroPCR 2023 | Events after Redo TAVR in Balloon-Expandable Valves

With the treatment of aortic valve disease in younger patients, a significant number of them will need redo TAVR at some point in their life. However, to date there are few data on redo TAVR.  The aims of this study was to look at real life experience on redo TAVR with balloon-expandable SAPIEN valves and
