Anillo pequeño, ¿debemos comenzar a elegir la válvula?

Small Annulus: Should We Start Choosing the Valve?

Courtesy of Dr. Carlos Fava. A small annulus in patients with&nbsp;Severe Aortic Stenosis&nbsp;is a real challenge, since it is associated with post-surgical prosthesis patient mismatch (PPM), which negatively affects prosthesis duration and evolution.&nbsp;TAVR has become a good alternative strategy, with better hemodynamic profile and lower PPM incidence in this group.

El reemplazo transcatéter en válvulas bicúspides suma evidencia pero continúan los desafíos

Transcatheter valve replacement in the bicuspid valve is increasingly performed, but challenges remain

As experience increases,&nbsp;transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR)&nbsp;has expanded to different populations and anatomies. This study sought to compare technical and clinical outcomes in patients with bicuspid versus tricuspid aortic stenosis from the&nbsp;Bicuspid AS TAVR Multicenter Registry. &nbsp; Outcomes of 561&nbsp;patients with bicuspid valves and 4546&nbsp;patients with tricuspid valves were compared. Propensity score matching was used<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2017/07/05/transcatheter-valve-replacement-in-the-bicuspid-valve-is-increasingly-performed-but-challenges-remain/" title="Read more" >...</a>

Más evidencia positiva para tratar prótesis biológicas disfuncionantes con la prótesis balón expandible

Further Evidence on Managing Dysfunctioning Bioprostheses with Balloon-Expandable Prostheses

Early experience with the valve-in-valve technique in the treatment of failed bioprosthetic surgical valves in transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has yielded acceptable acute procedural results. This turned the technique into another therapeutic option, one that could even cause the reassessment of the age limit for the surgical implantation of a mechanical or bioprosthesis valve.<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2017/05/17/further-evidence-on-managing-dysfunctioning-bioprostheses-with-balloon-expandable-prostheses/" title="Read more" >...</a>

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).
