TAVR (TAVI)
This study developed and validated an updated Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS) risk model for surgical aortic valve replacement after a failed transcatheter aortic valve replacement (SAVR-after-TAVR), including the emergent and concomitant-procedure cases that earlier...
CTSNet hosted a webinar on September 15, 2026, titled “The TAVR Heart Team in 2026: Navigating the CMS Decision,” featuring leading surgeons Tom B. Nguyen, Michael Mack, and Tsuyoshi Kaneko,...

The Evolut Low Risk trial demonstrated that transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) was noninferior to surgery for the primary endpoint of all-cause mortality or disabling stroke at two years. In...
The treatment of aortic valve disease has evolved, and it is expected that TAVR will be available to most patients in the next few years. However, TAVR with a bioprosthesis...
This study compared outcomes between patients undergoing valve-in-valve transcatheter aortic valve replacement (ViV TAVR) and redo surgical aortic valve replacement (redo SAVR) using a retrospective analysis of institutional databases, which...
The EARLY TAVR trial investigators randomly assigned patients with asymptomatic severe aortic stenosis to undergo either early transfemoral transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) or clinical surveillance. The primary end point...
The role of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) for the treatment of aortic stenosis in the pre- and post-lung transplant population is limited. This specific patient population is considered high...
Aortic stenosis affects more than 9 million people worldwide and is commonly treated with surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR), which is known for producing excellent long-term outcomes. Recent advancements in...
Treatment of aortic stenosis due to a bicuspid aortic valve (BAV), requires a lifetime strategy due to structural valve degeneration that necessitates redo intervention, such as surgical aortic valve replacement...
Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has surpassed surgical aortic valve replacements in volume since TAVR is now approved for patients of all surgical risk categories. This article evaluated trainees and...
