A little leak goes a long way! 5-Year-outcome after transcatheter aortic valve implantation.

Catheter Cardiovasc Interv

Published: April 2022

Mild paravalvular leak after TAVR is associated with increased 5-year mortality. Current noninvasive and invasive prediction models for mortality may only hold for short term outcomes. Other imaging modalities aside from transthoracic echocardiography should be strongly considered when assessing paravalvular leak, regardless of severity.

Background: Patients with low-flow, low-gradient (LFLG) aortic stenosis (AS) have precarious hemodynamics and are a fragile population for intervention. Quantification of aortic valve calcification (AVC) severity is a critical component of the evaluation for transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR); this study aims to further clarify its utility for risk stratification in LFLG AS.

Methods: This retrospective study evaluated 467 patients with LFLG AS undergoing TAVR at a large quaternary-care hospital from January 2019 to December 2021.

Background: Aortic stenosis (AS) remains a prevalent and serious global health concern, exacerbated by an aging population worldwide. This valvular disease, when symptomatic and without appropriate intervention, severe AS can drastically reduce life expectancy. In our systematic review and -analysis, we aim to synthesize available evidence to guide clinical decision-making by comparing the performance of TAVR and SAVR, specifically in patients with severe AS and a small aortic annulus.

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

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.
