SCOPE I Results at 3 Years: ACURATE Neo vs. SAPIEN 3

Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has become the standard treatment for elderly patients with severe symptomatic aortic stenosis. While this has led to the development of new devices with different features, evidence from randomized studies on these new scaffolds is limited. The randomized SCOPE I study (Safety and Efficacy of the Symetis ACURATE Neo/TF Compared

TAVR and New Onset LBBB

The safety and efficacy of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is already established. However, it still poses a challenge for conduction disturbances, such as the need for pacemaker or new onset left bundle branch block (LBBB). The current rate for the latter ranges from approximately 11% to 19%. In most cases, 50% of LBBB reverses

New Self-Expanding Valve Measures Up Against Sapien 3

Both balloon-expandable and self-expanding valves have been tested in randomized studies, with excellent outcomes. While both technologies have advantages, the chance to reposition or re-steer the sheath is only offered by self-expanding valves, which also adjust better to patient anatomy. The CHOICE trial, published in 2014 in JAMA, was one of the few randomized studies

VIVA Post-Market Study: More Evidence for the Valve-in-Valve Technique

Courtesy of the SBHCI. Bioprosthetic surgically-implanted valves degenerate over time, while patients become too old and are at high risk for reoperation.   Transcatheter aortic valve implantation inside a deteriorated surgically-implanted valve (a valve-in-valve procedure) is an emerging alternative.   The VIVA trial was designed to offer systematic and prospective data from patients treated with

La protección cerebral en TAVI continúa con evidencia débil pero con esperanzas

Cerebral protection during TAVI still offers weak evidence, but there is hope

Silent ischemic embolic lesions are common after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). The use of cerebral protection devices might reduce the occurrence of these embolic lesions. Multiple studies with different devices, designs, and outcomes challenge the usefulness of cerebral protection during TAVI.   A comprehensive analysis of the literature was necessary to obtain a more

REPRISE III: Lotus and CoreValve Compared in High-Risk or Inoperable Patients

The efficacy of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has been well-established. However, its limitations include suboptimal deployment and paravalvular leak. The Lotus system is a fully repositionable and retrievable device with controlled mechanical expansion. It features an adaptive seal to minimize paravalvular leak, it does not require early pacing during deployment, and, given its early

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.
