The Portico self-expanding graft has obtained FDA approval and can now compete as one of the three options available in clinical practice for transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) in the United States. For the time being, its indication will have some restrictions: for example, it can only be used in high-risk patients (unlike CoreValve and...
In some patients, using an anticoagulant agent is not an option, it is just prescribed. Based on the French TAVR registry, this research compared long-term mortality, bleeding, and ischemic events after valve implantation. A comparison was made between TAVR and direct vs. classic anticoagulant agents—good old proven and reversible vitamin K inhibitors. Cardiologists, hematologists, clinicians, and...

Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is an increasingly frequent option for patients with severe aortic stenosis across the entire risk spectrum. However, TAVR involves bleeding and thrombosis risk and therefore calls for an optimal adjuvant treatment. Any scheme is complex if we take into account most patients undergoing TAVR are generally elderly and have multiple...
This study was designed to determine the effect of carotid endarterectomy/angioplasty on early (baseline vs. 3 months) and late (baseline vs. >5 months) cognitive function in patients with asymptomatic lesions. This systematic research included 31 non-randomized studies. Regarding the immediate post-operative period, 24 of these papers reported significant improvement in cognitive function; one study reported significant deterioration;...
