In this article, the authors report six-year outcomes from the Evolut Low Risk trial, which randomized 1,414 low-risk patients with severe aortic stenosis to transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) (n=730)...
In this article, the authors present a bench-to-animal-to-human proof of concept for valve-in-mechanical (ViMech) transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) in patients with failed bileaflet mechanical aortic valves. Bench testing showed...
This comparative study evaluated outcomes between surgical aortic valve replacement with Y-incision aortic annular enlargement (SAVR with Y-AAE) vs transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) in 362 low-to-intermediate risk patients with...
As interventional techniques continue to gain popularity in cardiothoracic surgery, familiarity and mastery of these techniques are increasingly important for trainees and early career surgeons. The authors discuss core endovascular...
With the improvement in survival rates for heart transplant recipients, cardiac valvular disease is more frequently being encountered in this group of patients. This includes conditions such as aortic stenosis...
This article studied the use of both surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) and transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) in patients with low-flow, low-gradient aortic stenosis, including both classical and paradoxical...
Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has emerged as the treatment of choice for symptomatic severe aortic stenosis (AS) across the whole surgical risk spectrum. Current European guidelines recommend surgical aortic...
