Background: Head-to-head comparisons of second and third generations of transcatheter heart valves (THVs) are mostly limited to 2-arm studies and to mid-term follow-up. The aim of this study was to simultaneously compare clinical outcomes of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) with 4 different THVs at 5 years.
Methods: Patients undergoing transfemoral TAVR with 4 second-generation THV platforms and enrolled in the multicentre prospective OBSERVANT II study from December 2016 to September 2018 were compared according to the THV received.
Article Synopsis
- The study compared long-term outcomes of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) and surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) in patients with low EuroSCORE II for aortic stenosis.
- At 10 years, survival rates were significantly higher for SAVR at 37% compared to 18.2% for TAVR, with differences becoming noticeable after 3 years.
- The incidence of repeat aortic valve procedures was low for both methods, but TAVR had a slightly lower rate at 1.1% compared to 2.6% for SAVR, although this difference was not statistically significant.

Background: The reduction in long-term mortality after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is less pronounced than that of in-hospital mortality among patients with AMI complicated by heart failure (HF) and/or in those with a high residual thrombotic risk (HTR).
Aim: To investigate the relative prognostic significance of HTR and HF in AMI survivors.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study enrolled patients admitted for AMI in 2014-2015 in all Italian hospitals.
Background: Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a common underlying cause of de novo heart failure (HF) and is associated with poor outcome despite advances in medical therapy. There are no data clearly supporting coronary angiogram (CVG) and revascularization in this setting.
Methods: We analysed a nationwide, comprehensive, and universal administrative database of consecutive patients for the first time admitted in hospital for HF, without a history of CAD, who survived 30 days after index admission from 2015 to 2019 in Italy.
Background: The incidence and predictors of 30-day stroke after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) were derived from early studies investigating first-generation devices. The incidence of 6-month stroke and its related predictors are unknown.
Aims: To investigate the incidence and to identify procedural and patient-related predictors of 30-day and 6-month stroke after TAVR.
