Background: Right ventricular (RV) dysfunction in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) for aortic stenosis (AS) has long been disregarded. We aimed to assess the predictive value of RV to pulmonary artery coupling (RV/PAc), defined as tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion to systolic pulmonary artery pressure, on mortality in different flow types of AS after TAVI.
Methods: All patients undergoing TAVI for AS at our centre between 2018 and 2020 were assessed; 862 patients were analysed.
Background: Knowledge about atrial functional tricuspid regurgitation (afTR) in transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) patients is scarce.
Objectives: The aim of the study was to analyze the association between the entity and the development of tricuspid regurgitation (TR) in patients undergoing TAVR for aortic stenosis and concomitant TR.
Methods: We analyzed patients undergoing TAVR for severe aortic stenosis from January 2013 to December 2020 and concomitant at least moderate TR at baseline.
Purpose: This study investigates functional and technical outcomes to support an early mobilization approach to rehabilitation after single-event multilevel surgery (SEMLS) for children with cerebral palsy (CP), and disseminates innovative guidelines emphasizing early walking.
Methods: Twenty-three participants with spastic diplegic CP ages 7 through 17 years, Gross Motor Function Classification System levels I to III, who underwent an early mobilization program after SEMLS were reviewed. Outcomes were examined from motion analysis data and clinical documentation.
