Neurohormonal modulation and afterload reduction are essential for treating heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). In HFrEF patients with concomitant moderate aortic stenosis (AS), therapy with transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) may be complementary to guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT).

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 included data from 2013 to 2022 for TAVR and 2011 to 2022 for SAVR.

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 was a composite of death, stroke, or unplanned hospitalization for cardiovascular causes.

The AVATAR Trial addressed the question of when and how to treat asymptomatic patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS) and normal left ventricular (LV) systolic function. In the current report, the authors present the extended follow-up.

As long-term outcomes of congenital heart operations continue to improve, attention has turned toward neurocognitive development. As such, there is a need for clinical tools to predict neurologic outcomes in mid- and long-term follow-ups.

The selection of valve prostheses for patients undergoing surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) remains controversial. In this study, the authors compared the long-term outcomes of patients undergoing aortic valve replacement with biological or mechanical aortic valve prostheses.

This video article describes the technical details of the mini-Bentall procedure for a patient with bicuspid aortic valve and aortic root aneurysm, using the “French Cuff” technique.
