Impact of Major Vascular Complication Access Site Status on Mortality After Transfemoral Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement - Results From the FinnValve Registry.

The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of anatomical site status and major vascular complication (MVC) severity on the outcome of transfemoral transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TF-TAVR). The FinnValve registry enrolled consecutive TAVR patients from 2008 to 2017. MVC was divided into 2 groups: non-access site-related MVC (i.

Acute Kidney Injury Following Aortic Valve Replacement in Patients Without Chronic Kidney Disease.

Background: The data on acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients without chronic kidney disease (CKD) after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) are limited. The study sought to compare the incidence of AKI and its impact on 5-year mortality after TAVR and surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) in patients without CKD.

Methods: This registry included data from 6463 consecutive patients who underwent TAVR or SAVR.

Gastroschisis in Finland 1993 to 2014-Increasing Prevalence, High Rates of Abortion, and Survival: A Population-Based Study.

Introduction:  The study aims to assess the changes in prevalence and mortality of gastroschisis, and to identify associated anomalies.

Materials And Methods:  It is a population-based nationwide study. All gastroschisis cases were identified in the Finnish Register of Congenital Malformations and the Care Register for Health Care from 1993 to 2014 including live births, stillbirths, and terminations of pregnancy due to fetal anomalies.
