Article Synopsis
- The study examines the impact of treating paravalvular regurgitation (PVR) after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) and its association with morbidity and mortality.
- A total of 201 patients were treated for moderate PVR using various interventions, including redo-TAVI, plug closure, and balloon valvuloplasty, with outcomes measured at 30 days and 1 year.
- Findings indicate that successful reduction of aortic regurgitation (AR) to mild levels significantly improved 1-year mortality rates, suggesting that treatment decisions and patient selection for PVR interventions need further research.
Introduction: To ensure flight safety military aircrew undergo regular clinical and occupational assessment. Coronary artery calcium scoring (CACS) has been established as an imaging modality to noninvasively assess coronary artery disease (CAD). CT coronary angiography (CTCA) potentially offers a more accurate assessment of CAD, but has not been formally assessed in military aircrew.
