Dual Antiplatelet in TAVR: Is Single Better?
Courtesy of Dr. Agustín Vecchia. As TAVR is expanded to lower risk patients, complications become more relevant. As regards stroke, the PARTNER 2 and SURTAVI one year outcomes are 8.0% and 8.2% respectively. The mechanisms behind this complication have not yet been clarified and, therefore, neither have guideline recommendations in this regard (as we can tell…
Lotus vs Sapien 3, different mechanisms with similar results
The new generation devices for transfemoral transcatheter aortic valve replacement have been optimized to improve valve position and reduce residual aortic regurgitation. This study compared 30 day, 12 month and 24 month outcomes of the repositionable, Lotus valve, with controlled mechanical expansion, and the balloon-expandable valve Edwards Sapien 3. Primary end point was all cause mortality…
How can we classify aortic stenosis in patients who underwent TAVR?
Courtesy of Dr. Carlos Fava. Aortic stenosis can present different hemodynamic patterns, such as low flow and low gradient with reduced or preserved ventricular function. However, evidence on the evolution of different hemodynamic patterns after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is limited. This study consisted in a retrospective analysis of 368 patients who underwent TAVR. The population was divided in…
Increasing operator experience improves TAVR outcomes
The introduction of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) into clinical practice in the United States has been a tightly controlled process aimed at optimizing patient outcomes and minimizing the learning curve. Many strategies have been used to reach a rational dispersion for this new technology, including choosing sites with enough volume, and adequate operator training…
Lotus Valve performance related to pacemaker implantation in patients after TAVR
Courtesy of Dr. Agustín Vecchia. Paravalvular leak was once considered the greatest disadvantage of TAVR when compared to conventional surgery. Nowadays, new devices and more-experienced operators have managed to “control” this phenomenon, keeping related statistics within acceptable ranges. Repositionable-valve Lotus may probably offer the most effective solution for this event; however, it is associated with high rates of…
