Transcatheter Pulmonary Flow Restrictors as a Palliative Bridge to Heart Transplant.

Pediatr Transplant

February 2025

Division of Pediatric Cardiology, Department of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minnesota, USA.

Background: In recent years, transcatheter implantation devices to restrict pulmonary arterial flow have emerged as a potential alternative to surgical pulmonary artery banding.

Case Presentation: A term male was diagnosed with critical aortic stenosis (AS) and severely reduced left ventricle (LV) systolic function. He underwent aortic balloon valvuloplasty on day 2 of life, resulting in some antegrade flow, but LV ejection fraction only improved to 15%.

Author Affiliations: The Valve and Structural Heart Center, Morristown Medical Center, Morristown, New Jersey (Dr Worthington); and Morristown Medical Center, Morristown, New Jersey (Ms Giannantonio).

Background: Immobility in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is linked to adverse outcomes and prolonged length of stay (LOS). Advancements in TAVR procedures allow for early ambulation post-procedure.

Local Problem: In a large teaching hospital, ambulation occurred at an average of 16.

Use of Claims to Assess Outcomes and Treatment Effects in the Evolut Low Risk Trial.

Circ Cardiovasc Interv

January 2025

Richard A. and Susan F. Smith Center for Outcomes Research in Cardiology, Division of Cardiology, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Boston, MA (C.L., A.T., Y.S., J.S., R.W.Y.).

Background: Food and Drug Administration-mandated postmarket studies for transcatheter aortic valve replacement in low-risk populations plan to use passively collected registry data linked to claims for long-term follow-up out to 10 years. Therefore, it is critically important to understand the validity of these claims-based end points. We sought to evaluate the ability of administrative claims with () codes to identify trial-adjudicated end points and reproduce treatment comparisons of aortic valve replacement in the Evolut Low Risk Trial.

Background Patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) are often elderly, and perioperative and long-term risk assessments should primarily consider cognitive function, comorbidities, and procedural complexity. This study investigated the association between cognitive function and mortality in patients with severe aortic valve stenosis (AS) who underwent TAVI. Methodology This single-center, retrospective cohort study consecutively registered patients who underwent TAVI between December 2014 and December 2018.

Background: Cardiogenic shock (CS) induced by severe aortic stenosis (AS) is a life-threatening condition with high mortality. Despite advancements in emergency interventions, the optimal treatment approach remains uncertain.

Aim: This study aimed to systematically review and analyse the existing evidence on outcomes of emergency transcatheter aortic valve implantation (eTAVI) and emergency balloon aortic valvuloplasty (eBAV) in CS patients.
