Courtesy of Dr. Carlos Fava. Peripheral vascular diseases (PVD) present the same risk factors as aortic stenosis. In consequence, these disorders usually coexist. The frequency and impact of their various stages on patients undergoing TAVR is yet to be thoroughly assessed. Read also: “Peripheral Vascular Disease Is Associated to More Events in TAVR”. This study analyzed…

The Perks of Conscious Sedation in TAVR
The main advantage of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has always been its less invasive nature, compared against surgery. Many of the advances in this technique revolve around making it even less invasive, increasing the gap between the two. The kind of anesthesia has been one of these many advances. There are several reports (in general from…
TAVR in Pure Aortic Regurgitation: New Devices, New Outcomes
Pure aortic regurgitation has historically been considered a contraindication for transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) due to the absence of calcification and subsequent device anchoring problems it poses. Initial reports on first-generation self-expanding valves for the treatment of pure regurgitation were somewhat discouraging, but devices evolved, adding repositioning capacity, different external skirts (pericardial, PET, urethane,…
TAVR in Patients with Pure vs. Mixed Aortic Stenosis: Benefits and Evolution
Courtesy of Dr. Carlos Fava. Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has been proven to reduce mortality and improve the quality of life of patients with pure severe aortic stenosis (PAS). However, there is a significant number of patients who experience mixed aortic stenosis associated with moderate/severe aortic regurgitation (MAS). These subjects were excluded from the PARTNER…
