Fundamentos e Objetivos: A substituição da válvula aórtica via transcateter (TAVR) é uma opção em determinados pacientes cirúrgicos de alto risco com estenose da válvula aórtica grave. Desconhecemos se a TAVR pode ser introduzida com segurança para os pacientes de baixo risco. O estudo NOTION (Nordic Aortic Valve Intervention Trial) é um ensaio clínico randomizado...
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...
