TAVR with Sapien XT: similar to surgical replacement in intermediate risk patients

Original Title: Transcatheter or Surgical Aortic-Valve Replacement in Intermediate-Risk Patients. PARTNER 2A. Reference: Martin B. Leon et al. NEJM April 2, 2016 Courtesy of Dr. Juan A. Terré Studies have shown mortality rates after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) and surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) in high risk patients are similar (PARTNER 2 – Cohort B).

TAVR é um procedimento tão seguro e eficaz quanto a substituição cirúrgica num seguimento de dois anos em pacientes de menor risco.

Fundamentos e &nbsp;Objetivos: A substitui&ccedil;&atilde;o da v&aacute;lvula a&oacute;rtica via transcateter (TAVR) &eacute; uma op&ccedil;&atilde;o em determinados pacientes cir&uacute;rgicos de alto risco com estenose da v&aacute;lvula a&oacute;rtica grave. Desconhecemos se a TAVR pode ser introduzida com seguran&ccedil;a para os pacientes de baixo risco. O estudo NOTION (Nordic Aortic Valve Intervention Trial) &eacute; um ensaio cl&iacute;nico randomizado<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2015/06/24/tavr-e-um-procedimento-tao-seguro-e-eficaz-quanto-a-substituicao-cirurgica-num-seguimento-de-dois-anos-em-pacientes-de-menor-risco-2/" title="Read more" >...</a>

NOTION: TAVR in low-risk patients

The aim of this study was to compare the results of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) versus surgery in unselected patients with severe degenerative aortic stenosis. Patients were randomized 1:1 to TAVR (n = 145) or surgical replacement (n = 135). Those of TAVR group received Medtronic CoreValve self-expanding valve. The femoral access was used<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2015/06/24/notion-tavr-in-low-risk-patients/" title="Read more" >...</a>
