Article Synopsis
- Concomitant mitral stenosis (MS) occurs in 10-15% of patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), prompting a study to investigate outcomes using the Nationwide Inpatient Sample database from 2015 to 2020.
- The research compared two groups: patients with MS and those without, focusing on baseline characteristics and in-hospital outcomes like mortality, respiratory failure, and the need for pacemakers.
- Results showed that patients with MS had a higher incidence of acute respiratory failure (8.8% vs. 4.89%), complete heart block (13.54% vs. 9.36%), and permanent pacemaker placement (8.03% vs. 6.03%),
• QAV is a rare congenital defect. • AR is the main valvular pathology leading to heart failure, presenting between ages 50 and 60. • Transesophageal echocardiography plays a pivotal role in the diagnosis of QAV.

Healthcare professionals are exposed to multiple trigger factors which give rise to an increase in headache frequency, most notable reasons being sleep disturbances, stress and untimely food habits. With this background, we conducted this study of detailed clinical profile and trigger factors among the 2050 subjects (MBBS students: 909, BDS students: 323, nursing students: 268, postgraduates students and staff: 550) in our medical institute.

Suture-based vascular closure devices (S-VCD) such as ProGlide and ProStar XL have been readily used, but recently, newer generation collagen-based vascular closure devices (C-VCD) such as MANTA have been introduced. Data on comparisons of these devices are limited.
