Objective: Youth disruptive behavior disorders (DBDs) have a male preponderance, but the extent to which gender biases in clinical assessment influence this imbalance remains unclear.

A 72-year-old man with a history of aortic valve replacement (AVR), mitral valve (MV) repair, and recent valve-in-valve transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) presented with bacteremia. Computed tomography (CT) and fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (F-FDG PET) imaging noted a pseudoaneurysm, and he successfully underwent TAVR explant with aortic root and valve replacement.

Article Synopsis
  • This study investigated the effect of mitral stenosis (MS) on outcomes in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) with modern balloon-expandable valves, using data from over 327,000 patients across multiple centers.
  • It was found that while patients with severe MS initially had worse outcomes, when matched for similar characteristics, their 30-day outcomes were similar to those with mild or less MS, except for a higher rate of pacemaker implantation.
  • However, by three years post-TAVR, patients with severe MS showed a significantly higher mortality rate compared to those with mild or less MS, suggesting long-term risks associated with severe MS.
