An Unusual Complication of Infective Endocarditis Treated by Percutaneous Intervention.

Mycotic pseudoaneurysms (PA) are an infrequent complication of infective endocarditis (IE). However, due to advanced imaging modality and early therapy, this complication has been seen less frequently in the past few years. The reported incidence is 5%-15% of the patients, with the most common site being intracranial vessels (up to 65%), followed by abdominal and then peripheral vessels.

Transcatheter Treatment of Residual Significant Mitral Regurgitation Following TAVR: A Multicenter Registry.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to describe baseline characteristics, and periprocedural and mid-term outcomes of patients undergoing transcatheter mitral valve interventions post-transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) and examine their clinical benefit.

Background: The optimal management of residual mitral regurgitation (MR) post-TAVR is challenging.

Methods: This was an international registry of 23 TAVR centers.

Patient Disposition and Clinical Outcome After Referral to a Dedicated TAVI Clinic.

Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is the standard of care for the majority of patients with severe symptomatic aortic stenosis (AS) at excessive-, high- and intermediate-surgical risk. A proportion of patients referred for TAVI do not undergo the procedure and proceed with an alternate treatment strategy. There is scarce data describing the final treatment allocation of such patients.
