Aims Of The Study: The 2021 European Society of Cardiology Guidelines on valvular heart disease recommend transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) for patients with symptomatic severe aortic stenosis at low surgical risk and age ≥75 years who are suitable for a transfemoral approach (recommendation class IA) based on two large randomised controlled trials (PARTNER 3 and Evolut Low Risk) comparing transcatheter aortic valve implantation with surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR). Whether such an approach is cost-effective in Switzerland remains unclear. The aim of this cost-utility analysis was to compare transcatheter aortic valve implantation with SAPIEN 3 versus surgical aortic valve replacement in symptomatic severe aortic stenosis patients at low risk of surgical mortality from the perspective of Swiss compulsory health insurance using data from the PARTNER 3 trial (reflecting specifically the safety and efficacy of the SAPIEN 3 TAVI device).

- - The study analyzed mid-term outcomes of 338 patients who underwent aortic valve replacement through right anterior thoracotomy, focusing on gender differences in outcomes across different age groups (≤60 and >60 years).
- - Women were found to be older and have a higher risk score (Euroscore II) compared to men, and although they had longer ICU stays and higher incidences of atrial fibrillation, overall mortality rates were low and similar between genders.
- - The findings suggest that tailored patient care and surgical approaches can mitigate the previously reported negative outcomes for women undergoing cardiac surgery, highlighting the importance of gender-specific considerations in treatment.
More than half of the world's rivers dry up periodically, but our understanding of the biological communities in dry riverbeds remains limited. Specifically, the roles of dispersal, environmental filtering and biotic interactions in driving biodiversity in dry rivers are poorly understood. Here, we conduct a large-scale coordinated survey of patterns and drivers of biodiversity in dry riverbeds.

Our aim was to assess sex-specific differences in outcomes of patients with mitral regurgitation (MR) treated by TEER.
Methods And Results: Short-term and 5-year outcomes in men and women undergoing TEER between 2011 and 2018 who were included in the large, multicenter, real-world MitraSwiss registry were analyzed.
