Objective: This meta-analysis aims to assess the impact of pulmonary hypertension (PH) on the clinical prognosis of patients with moderate to severe mitral valve regurgitation (MR) undergoing transcatheter edge-to-edge mitral valve repair (TEER).

Methods: As of August 2024, relevant studies were identified through searches of the PubMed, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, and Embase databases. A comprehensive screening process was conducted, with quality assessment performed utilizing the Newcastle Ottawa Scale (NOS).

Background: Valve-in-valve transcatheter aortic valve replacement (ViV-TAVR) is associated with improved perioperative safety compared to redo surgical aortic valve replacement (redo-SAVR), but long-term outcomes remain uncertain. We therefore compare long-term outcomes of ViV-TAVR and redo-SAVR.

Methods: The study included 1:1 propensity-matched Medicare beneficiaries with degenerated bioprosthetic valves admitted between 09/29/2011 and 12/30/2020 undergoing either redo-SAVR or ViV-TAVR.

Aims: Evidence regarding the safety of early discharge following transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is limited. The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety of very early (<24) and early discharge (24-48 h) as compared to standard discharge (>48 h), supported by the implementation of a voice-based virtual assistant using artificial intelligence (AI) and natural language processing.

Methods And Results: Single-arm prospective observational study that included consecutive patients who underwent TAVI in a tertiary hospital in 2023 and were discharged under an AI follow-up programme.

Background: Patients with prior history of chest or mediastinal radiation are deemed high risk for surgical AVR. Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has emerged as a promising alternative for these patients, however, this patient population was underrepresented in prior TAVR trials.

Aims: To compare the outcomes of TAVR in patients with versus without a history of prior chest or mediastinal radiation.

Impact of sarcoidosis in patients undergoing aortic valve replacement: Insight from nationwide readmission database 2016-2019.

Franciscan Health, Lafayette, IN, USA; Krannert Cardiovascular Research Center, Indiana University School of Medicine, Indianapolis, IN, USA. Electronic address:

It is not well-known if valve replacement outcomes differ in patients with sarcoidosis, especially in aortic valve intervention, where the pressure gradients are physiologically high. In this retrospective study, we included all patients who underwent surgical/transcatheter aortic valve replacement from the Nationwide Readmission Database (2016-2019), and then divided them into those with and without sarcoidosis. Logistic and cox proportional hazard regression models were used.
