Coronary artery disease frequently accompanies severe aortic stenosis and is identified in up to half of patients referred for transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI).1 Yet the optimal ...

PRO-TAVI trial shows net clinical benefit compared with PCI before valve replacement ...

Background Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has already been recommended for some high-risk patients with aortic ...

The results, which are mostly relevant to an older population, address a common dilemma for aortic stenosis patients with CAD ...

ROUEN, FRANCE — Congestive heart failure (CHF) brought one in four patients back to the hospital within a year of transcatheter aortic-valve implantation (TAVI) for severe aortic stenosis, a new study ...

TAVI is a safe alternative to redo cardiac surgery for failing bioprosthetic valves, according to new research. The findings suggest that transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is a treatment ...

German researchers report success with transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) in patients with low-flow, low-gradient aortic stenosis-a special form of aortic stenosis that is difficult to ...

The success of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is centred around the collaboration between cardiac surgeons and interventional cardiologists. A report from the German Quality Assurance ...

A device designed to capture more TAVR procedural debris proves noninferior to an existing device in a large trial, but the ...

Advances in our understanding of the mechanisms underlying valvular heart diseases, together with technological innovations and accumulating clinical experience, have led to great improvements in the ...

The aortic valve is normally tricuspid or trileaflet. When two of the cusps are fused together, the valve becomes functionally “bicuspid.” Most commonly, the right and left coronary cusps are fused ...
