Valvular Aortic Valve

Incidence, characteristics, and treatment of valve thrombosis after TAVR

Certain studies have carried out a tomographic follow-up of patients who underwent transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) and described...

SENTINEL study: cerebral protection during TAVR

Neurological complications during and after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) are probably the only event whose incidence...

In-hospital morbid-mortality rates for balloon aortic valvuloplasty are similar to those for transcatheter aortic valve implantation

Courtesy of Dr. Carlos Fava. The balloon aortic valvuloplasty (BAV) was introduced by Dr. Cribier in 1986. However,...

Low Gradient Aortic Stenosis Won’t Improve with TAVR

Courtesy of Dr. Carlos Fava. It is known that patients with low gradient aortic stenosis show poor evolution...

[SURTAVI] Sub-study of neurological events: more evidence in favor of TAVR

Courtesy of SBHCI. The occurrence of a periprocedural neurological events is associated to an increased risk of death...

NOTION: TAVI with low risk at 4 year follow up

Courtesy of the SBHCI. There is little data about the use of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) to...

VIVA Post-Market Study: More Evidence for the Valve-in-Valve Technique

Courtesy of the SBHCI. Bioprosthetic surgically-implanted valves degenerate over time, while patients become too old and are at...

Cerebral protection during TAVI still offers weak evidence, but there is hope

Silent ischemic embolic lesions are common after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). The use of cerebral protection...
