Article Synopsis
- A study compared transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) with traditional surgery in low-risk patients under 75 years old with severe aortic stenosis to evaluate safety and effectiveness over three years.* -
- Results showed that TAVR patients had similar overall mortality rates but significantly fewer disabling strokes (0.6%) compared to surgery patients (2.9%), while TAVR also resulted in better valve performance.* -
- Both treatment options had comparable low rates of valve reinterventions, but TAVR patients experienced higher rates of pacemaker implantation (21.0% vs. 7.1%).*
Background: Perclose ProGlide (PPG) Suture-Mediated Closure System™ is safe and can reduce time to hemostasis following procedures requiring arterial access.
Aims: We aimed to compare PPG to figure of 8 suture in patients who underwent interventional catheter procedures requiring large bore venous access (LBVA) (≥13 French).
Methods: In this physician-initiated, randomized, single-center study [clinicaltrials.
