Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Vincenza Santillo"
- Vincenza Santillo's research primarily focuses on the impact of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) in patients with concurrent mitral insufficiency and its implications for cardiovascular health.
- Her studies highlight that while mitral regurgitation is often seen as a complication that may increase the risk of TAVI failure, improvements in mitral conditions can occur post-implantation, suggesting a potential benefit of TAVI in these patients.
- Additionally, Santillo has investigated the comparative outcomes of different TAVI devices, reporting lower cardiovascular mortality rates associated with the Medtronic CoreValve compared to the Edwards SAPIEN device in patients with aortic valve stenosis.
