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.

CTSNet continued its webinar series partnership with the ASAIO Journal on November 14, 2024, by enrolling cardiac surgery and heart failure professionals engaged to discuss the topic, "Non-LVAD and Non-CRT Device Options in Heart Failure." Panelists included Amit N. Vora, MD, MPH, FACC, FSCAI, of Yale University, and Ulrich P. Jorde, MD, of Montefiore Health System.

In this meta-analysis, the authors included three randomized controlled trials (RCTs) conducted in patients with heart failure (HF) and moderate to severe functional mitral regurgitation (FMR), comparing treatment with the MitraClip device in addition to medical therapy (device arm) to medical therapy alone (control arm).

This video presents a clinical case of a 44-year-old man with severe respiratory failure and septic shock secondary to streptococcus pyogenes pneumonia. The authors describe a transfer technique from femoro-jugular veno-venous ECMO to veno-pulmonary ECMO with the ProtekDuo cannula.

Aortic stenosis is the most prevalent valvular heart condition necessitating surgical intervention, with full sternotomy (FS) traditionally being the standard approach for surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR).
October 24, 2024
There is limited data available from randomized trials comparing outcomes between transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) and surgery in patients with different risks and follow-up periods of at least four years or longer.
October 3, 2024
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 transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) have shown noninferior or improved outcomes compared to SAVR across various risk levels.

In June 2024, a panel of cardiothoracic surgery experts gathered at Teatro delle Muse in Ancona, Italy to discuss Minimally Invasive and Trans-Catheter Interventions for patients with Mitral and Tricuspid Valve Diseases. This course was directed by Professor Marco Di Eusanio.
