Five-Year Survival and Complications of Thoracic Endovascular Aortic Repair (TEVAR): A Single Tertiary Center Registry for All-Comers Patients.

Introduction: Studies on the mid and long-term outcomes of thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) are scarce. This study aimed to investigate the long-term outcomes of TEVAR for all-comers patients with various types of thoracic aortic pathologies, predominantly thoracic aortic dissections and thoracic aortic aneurysms.

Methods: Between January 2005 and December 2015, 123 consecutive patients with thoracic aortic pathologies underwent TEVAR.

Transcatheter tricuspid valve-in-valve implantation with bioprosthetic balloon expandable valve.

Objectives: This study was conducted to evaluate the outcome of the transcatheter valve-in-valve implantation for degenerated tricuspid bioprosthetic valves with transcatheter aortic valves.

Methods: This retrospective study enrolled all consecutive patients who were considered high risk for reoperations by the heart team and who underwent transcatheter valve-in-valve implantation for degenerated tricuspid bioprosthetic valves in Tehran Heart Center, Tehran, Iran. All the procedures were performed via the transfemoral venous route under echocardiography and fluoroscopy guidance with Edwards SAPIEN transcatheter heart valves (Edwards Lifesciences, Irvine, CA).
