Background: In view of inconsistencies in threshold values of severe aortic stenosis (AS) hemodynamic indices, it is unclear what is the relative contribution of each variable in a binary classification of AS based on aortic valve replacement (AVR) indication. We aimed to assess relative discriminative value and optimal threshold of each constituent hemodynamic parameter for this classification and confirm additional prognostic value.
Methods: Echocardiography studies of 168 patients with ≥ moderate AS were included.
Background: The MitraClip procedure is becoming an acceptable alternative for high-risk patients with mitral regurgitation (MR) due to functional (FMR) or degenerative (DMR) disease and suitable mitral anatomy.
Objectives: To evaluate the results of MitraClip at our institute in carefully selected patients.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of medical records and echocardiography data from January 2012 to December 2017.
