Even though the incidence of complications in transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) have significantly decreased, there is one in particular that remains a concern since, when mild, it is associated to increased events rate. This complication is prosthetic paravalvular leak , which happens between the native annulus and the stent. The Lotus valve, completely repositionable, uses a…
Critical Lower Limb Ischemia Should Be Taken into Account in TAVR
Courtesy of Dr. Carlos Fava. Peripheral vascular diseases (PVD) present the same risk factors as aortic stenosis. In consequence, these disorders usually coexist. The frequency and impact of their various stages on patients undergoing TAVR is yet to be thoroughly assessed. Read also: “Peripheral Vascular Disease Is Associated to More Events in TAVR”. This study analyzed…

Development of New Valves Lowers Need for Pacemaker
Courtesy of Dr. Carlos Fava. While the benefits of TAVR are well-known, the need for a permanent pacemaker after implantation is still an issue to solve, even though new valves have reduced it. This study enrolled 175 patients who underwent TAVR with an ACURATE neo TF valve. In this population, 58% of patients were women and the…
