The international registry TRANSIT has shown treating degenerated transcatheter aortic valves (TAVs) with a second TAVR is safe and effective. These finding are of crucial importance to the definite adoption of TAVR in the lower risk, younger population. Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has determined a paradigm shift in severe aortic stenosis treatment. Technological innovation…
Risk of Coronary Obstruction in Repeat TAVR
As we gradually consolidate the information on the duration of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) the focus seems to be moving towards the feasibility of repeat TAVR. How long the valve will last no longer matters as much as how feasible a new procedure is. The supra-annular leaflet position and tall stent frame of the…
