Valvular Aortic Valve

Influence of cusp-overlap and three-cusp coplanar techniques on new-onset conduction disturbances after TAVI

New-onset conduction disturbances remain one of the most frequent complications after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI), being...

Percutaneous closure of paravalvular leaks in high-risk patients: clinical outcomes and the impact of residual leak

Paravalvular leak (PVL) is a relatively frequent complication following valve replacement (overall incidence 5–18%; 2–10% in the...

SCAI 2026 | Can an atrial fixation device prevent complications of transcatheter mitral valve replacement? Analysis of the AltaValve system

Transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR) represents one of the most complex areas within structural interventions. Unlike TAVI,...

Beyond TAVI: Cardiac Rehabilitation as a Determinant of Clinical Outcomes

Aortic stenosis is an increasingly prevalent condition associated with population aging, with a prevalence of approximately 3.4%...

Comparative outcomes between transaxillary approach and thoracotomy-based approaches in TAVI with alternative access

TAVI has become the standard treatment for high-risk aortic stenosis. When transfemoral access is not feasible (approximately...

Management of Valve Thrombosis in TAVI: Current Evidence-Based Approach

The expansion of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) into younger and lower-risk populations has brought bioprosthetic valve...

Experience with the intra-annular self-expanding Navitor valve: data from the STS/ACC TVT registry

The expansion of TAVI, with the introduction of new-generation devices, has prioritized not only periprocedural safety, but...

ACC 2026 | Extended follow-up of the TRI-FR study: Edge-to-edge percutaneous repair in isolated severe tricuspid regurgitation

Severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is associated with chronic systemic venous congestion, recurrent hospitalizations for heart failure (HF),...
