Next-Day Discharge after TAVR: Equally Safe for All Prosthesis?

Yet scarce, there is evidence supporting next-day discharge (NDD) after TAVR is safe when patients receiving balloon expandable valves meet certain conditions. This had not yet been shown for self-expandable valves. This study looks into NDD after TAVR by femoral access with self-expandable valves.  The authors retrospectively compared all consecutive patients undergoing elective minimalist TAVR<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2019/07/04/next-day-discharge-after-tavr-equally-safe-for-all-prosthesis/" title="Read more" >...</a>

Pulmonary Hypertension: No Reason for TAVR Contraindication

In most severe aortic stenosis patients with pulmonary hypertension, transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) reduced pulmonary systolic pressure. There patients presented lower risk and lower all-cause mortality at short, median and long term. This data show that pulmonary hypertension should not be a TAVR contraindication. Pulmonary hypertension is common among TAVR patients.

Low-Risk TAVR Trending in All Papers

Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) in low-risk patients with symptomatic severe aortic stenosis appears to be safe at one year. In a follow-up using computerized tomography (TC), hypoattenuated leaflet thickening was observed in a minority of patients, but it did not have a long-term hemodynamic impact. It should be noted that the management strategy for<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2019/06/13/low-risk-tavr-trending-in-all-papers/" title="Read more" >...</a>

Safe for 80-Year-Olds. Should Nonagenarians be Withheld from TAVR?

According to this large global registry, mortality after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is twice as high in nonagenarians as against the “younger” group (90 patients. Additionally, risk scores cannot be trusted given that on the one hand they were designed for patients with planned surgery, and on the other hand, they included few patients<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2019/06/11/safe-for-80-year-olds-should-nonagenarians-be-withheld-from-tavr/" title="Read more" >...</a>

Outpatient Rhythm Monitoring After TAVR Could Save Us from Some Pacemakers?

Delayed high-grade block after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) goes unnoticed in patients undergoing TAVR without prior conduction disorders because, most times, it takes place during hospitalization or immediately after the procedure. Right bundle branch block is a risk factor, but it has poor sensitivity for the prediction of high-grade blocks, and there may be<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2019/06/10/outpatient-rhythm-monitoring-after-tavr-could-save-us-from-some-pacemakers/" title="Read more" >...</a>

EuroPCR 2019 | Most Recent TAVR Meta-Analysis: The Spectrum of Treatment Reaches All Patients

This new meta-analysis combines all randomized transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) vs. surgical aortic valve replacement trials and expands the scope of TAVR. Evidence across the range of risk studied supports a paradigm shift in patients with symptomatic severe aortic stenosis. The clinical superiority of TAVR compared with surgery has been demonstrated across the spectrum<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2019/05/30/europcr-2019-most-recent-tavr-meta-analysis-the-spectrum-of-treatment-reaches-all-patients/" title="Read more" >...</a>

Researchers behind this small study believe that fracturing the rigid calcium deposits on leaflets with this new device could delay the need for transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) or facilitate it. This device showed actual improvement of leaflet mobility together with mean gradient reduction.

EuroPCR 2019 | TAVR Durability Offers Certain Guarantees at 8 and 10 Years

It has been 3 years since EuroPCR 2016 and the presentation of the first data on possible transcatheter valve degeneration, which sparked fear regarding the possibility that transcatherter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) devices might degrade earlier than expected due to the pressure put on them to introduce them into the delivery catheter.
