Women with severe symptomatic aortic stenosis are underrepresented in clinical trials. The Randomized Research in Women All Comers with Aortic Stenosis (RHEIA) trial investigates the balance of benefits and risks of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) compared to surgery in women.

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 this new publication, the authors report the five-year outcomes of the Evolut Low Risk trial.
April 3, 2025
In a large cohort of 632 patients who underwent “true redo root" surgery (reoperative aortic root surgery after a previous aortic root procedure), the indications for endocarditis and the presence of a previous prosthetic aortic root graft increased the complexity of the procedure and the perioperative course; however, it did not impact the operative
Low-Dose Warfarin With a Novel Mechanical Aortic Valve: Interim Registry Results at 5-Year Follow-Up
April 3, 2025
This study evaluated the safety of low-dose warfarin (target INR 1.8) combined with daily aspirin (75 100 mg) after On-X mechanical aortic valve implantation.
January 30, 2025
This study evaluated long-term outcomes of bioprosthetic and mechanical aortic valve replacement (AVR) using data from the Society of Thoracic Surgeons Adult Cardiac Surgery Database (STS-ACSD).
January 23, 2025
The authors evaluated the five-year outcomes in low-risk patients undergoing isolated surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) or SAVR with concomitant procedures within the randomized PARTNER 3 trial. In the PARTNER 3 trial, 454 patients with severe, symptomatic, tricuspid aortic stenosis (AS) underwent surgery and were followed for five years.
January 23, 2025
This study compared isolated primary bioprosthetic surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) with isolated redo surgical aortic valve replacement (rSAVR) due to structural valve deterioration (SVD).
January 23, 2025
In this article, the authors aimed to assess whether post-implant transcatheter aortic valve prosthesis multi-detector computed characteristics differ between patients with native tricuspid and bicuspid aortic valve stenosis, as well as the effect on valve performance and clinical outcomes.
January 23, 2025
This retrospective analysis examined trends and outcomes of aortic valve replacement in patients under the age of 65 with aortic stenosis from 2013 to 2021, focusing on transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) versus surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR).
January 16, 2025
In this study-level meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) evaluating the effect of early aortic valve replacement (AVR) versus clinical surveillance (CS) in patients with asymptomatic severe aortic stenosis (AS), four RCTs were identified and included for analysis: AVATAR, RECOVERY, EARLY TAVR, EVOLVED.
