SAFE-TAVI Study: Safety and Efficacy of the Pressure Sensor and Pacing Guidewire

Currently, we observe an increase in the number of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) procedures due to its expansion toward a younger population with lower risk. For this reason, it is crucial to maintain continuous technological innovation to minimize post-procedural complications. The FDA has approved the SavyWire, a preformed 0.035-caliber guidewire that offers three essential<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2023/12/14/safe-tavi-study-safety-and-efficacy-of-the-pressure-sensor-and-pacing-guidewire/" title="Read more" >...</a>

Predictors of Stroke at 30 Days and 6 Months After TAVR

While the rate of stroke has decreased since the early days of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), it remains non-negligible, reaching up to 1%-3% at 30 days. As TAVR progressively expands to low-risk populations and younger patients, identifying risk factors for patient selection and management in stroke prevention becomes crucial.

Can Ultrasound Treat Aortic Stenosis?

Severe calcified aortic stenosis is a common condition that can currently be effectively treated with SAVR or TAVR. However, some patients, given comorbidities or anatomical characteristics, are not good candidates for these therapeutic alternatives.&nbsp; The non-invasive ultrasound therapy (NIUT) has surged as viable alternative. It claims ultrasound might act on calcified valves, and mobilize tissue<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2023/12/05/can-ultrasound-treat-aortic-stenosis/" title="Read more" >...</a>

Is AS Only Important When Severe?

Aortic stenosis (AS) is a progressive disease associated with morbidity and mortality, especially in severe cases. However, recent studies have revealed that moderate stenosis can also have unfavorable consequences in the course of the disease. One of the challenges lies in that determining its severity is sometimes difficult due to discrepancies between valve area, gradient,<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2023/12/04/is-as-only-important-when-severe/" title="Read more" >...</a>

Low Gradient, Normal Flow Aortic Stenosis: Changes in Quality of Life with TAVR

There is no question as regards the recommended treatment for symptomatic severe aortic stenosis, seeing as both transcatheter and surgical aortic valve replacement (TAVR and SAVR) have shown to significantly improve prognosis. This is despite the fact that there is still certain ambiguity around its characterization, which looks to define it according to hemodynamic severity<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2023/11/30/low-gradient-normal-flow-aortic-stenosis-changes-in-quality-of-life-with-tavr/" title="Read more" >...</a>

CAPTIS, a Novel Cerebral Embolic Protection System in TAVR

The incidence of stroke after TAVR ranges between 2 and 5%, depending on the series, which has been associated with higher morbimortality, affecting patient quality of life and their psycho-social environment.&nbsp; Many cerebral embolic protection systems have been developed in response, and even though they have been shown beneficial in many studies, their role in<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2023/11/16/captis-a-novel-cerebral-embolic-protection-system-in-tavr/" title="Read more" >...</a>

Untreated Aortic Stenosis: Associated Mortality and a Call to Attention

The progression of aortic stenosis has been extensively studied and is well-known. As observed, in its advanced stages, this condition entails high morbidity and a marked decrease in survival. Both North American and European guidelines recommend treatment when faced with severe valve disease. However, true severity can be difficult to determine due to discordant data,<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2023/11/13/untreated-aortic-stenosis-associated-mortality-and-a-call-to-attention/" title="Read more" >...</a>

Cerebral Embolic Protection Devices: How Useful are they in TAVR?

During TAVR, we often fear the possibility of a stroke, which occurs in approximately 1 – 2% of cases.&nbsp; In general, this phenomenon is caused by thrombi stemming from atherosclerotic or calcified plaque, depending on the etiology. Even though its incidence has declined with technology development and the increasing expertise of operators, it is still<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2023/11/10/cerebral-embolic-protection-devices-how-useful-are-they-in-tavr/" title="Read more" >...</a>

Is TAVR Beneficial in Cardiogenic Shock?

The presence of cardiogenic shock (CS) in a setting of aortic stenosis ranges from 1% to 4%. The prognosis for this scenario is ominous due to subendocardial ischemia, which presents as a decrease in ventricular preload and an increase in afterload. Aortic valvuloplasty has been used in this context, but, unfortunately, it has been associated<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2023/11/09/is-tavr-beneficial-in-cardiogenic-shock/" title="Read more" >...</a>
