Background And Aim Of The Study: To evaluate whether the simplified valve-sparing technique (SVST) implies clinical outcomes comparable or not with those of established David technique in the surgery of aortic root.

Methods: We collected the records of patients who had undergone aortic root surgery with the SVST or standard David technique (SDT) at our institution between January 2009 and December 2018. The primary endpoints were the incidence of all-cause death, reoperation for any reason, and postoperative complications.

Article Synopsis
  • A study analyzed data from French TAVR registries to compare long-term outcomes in patients using direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) versus vitamin K antagonists (VKAs) after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR).
  • The research found that patients on DOACs experienced lower mortality and major bleeding rates after three years compared to those on VKAs, although rates of ischemic events were similar between the two groups.
  • The findings suggest that DOACs may be the preferred choice for oral anticoagulation therapy in TAVR patients, promoting better long-term safety and efficacy.

Background: The FRANCE-2 registry (French Aortic National Corevalve and Edwards) previously reported good early- and medium-term clinical and echocardiographic efficacy for transcatheter aortic valve replacement. We here report 5-year follow-up results from the registry.

Methods: The registry includes all consecutive patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement for severe aortic stenosis in France.

Background: Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has revolutionized management of high-risk patients with severe aortic stenosis. However, survival and the incidence of severe complications have been assessed in relatively small populations and/or with limited follow-up.

Objectives: This report details late clinical outcome and its determinants in the FRANCE-2 (FRench Aortic National CoreValve and Edwards) registry.

Background: Transcatheter aortic-valve implantation (TAVI) is an emerging intervention for the treatment of high-risk patients with severe aortic stenosis and coexisting illnesses. We report the results of a prospective multicenter study of the French national transcatheter aortic-valve implantation registry, FRANCE 2.

Methods: All TAVIs performed in France, as listed in the FRANCE 2 registry, were prospectively included in the study.
