Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is an acceptable treatment for patients with aortic stenosis but remains contraindicated for patients with native aortic valve regurgitation (NAVR). It is well established that patients with severe NAVR and symptoms have a poor prognosis if left untreated and that they should be offered surgical aortic valve replacement. There are patients with NAVR and at high surgical risk for whom conventional surgical aortic valve replacement may be unsuitable. Until recently there has been limited experience in the treatment of these patients with TAVI but outcomes from isolated case reports and small registries are encouraging. Of interest are certain new TAVI devices with design features which may make them better suited to the treatment of NAVR patients.

Background: Delirium is associated with patient prognosis after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). However, the prognostic impact of subsyndromal delirium, described as an intermediate stage between delirium and normal cognition, is uncertain. The present study aimed to investigate the prognostic impact of delirium severity in patients undergoing TAVI.

Purpose: To compare the overall survival and the risk of all-cause and heart failure-specific hospitalization in nonagenarian patients hospitalized for symptomatic severe aortic stenosis (AS) who underwent transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) or conservative treatment.
Methods: Population-based retrospective cohort study based on healthcare utilization databases of the Italian region of Lombardy. The cohort included all nonagenarians hospitalized for AS between 2017 and 2021, who underwent TAVI within 90 days from first diagnosis or conservative treatment.

This procedure is carried out via a full sternotomy using standard aortic and bicaval cannulations. For the aortic and pulmonary anastomoses, selective antegrade unilateral cerebral perfusion is used after cooling the body temperature to 26 °Celsius. A 12-mm Hancock conduit is interposed between the pulmonary artery and the proximal descending aorta using standard running suture techniques.
