Background: The co-existence of severe aortic stenosis (AS) and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is not uncommon. Surgical intervention is the gold standard management. Patients with high surgical risk might undergo transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). However, TAVR outcomes are unclear in this population. We aimed to investigate the impact of HCM on the outcomes of TAVR.
Aim: We aim to investigate the outcomes of TAVR in patients with HCM.
Methods: We systematically searched PubMed, EMBASE, and Scopus for studies that compared outcomes of TAVR procedure between patients with HCM and those without it. Using the random-effects model, the odds ratios (OR) with 95% confidence interval (CI) were reported.
Results: We screened 102 articles and identified three observational cohort studies. Compared to patients who underwent TAVR without underlying HCM, TAVR for AS co-existed with HCM was associated with higher rates of mortality (OR 5.79; 95% CI: 3.38; 9.91, p < 0.0001), cardiogenic shock (OR 4.55; 95% CI: 3.40; 6.08, p < 0.0001), aortic dissection (OR 4.95; 95% CI: 3.17; 7.74, p < 0.0001), vascular complications (OR 2.10; 95% CI: 1.27; 3.47, p = 0.004), and renal impairment (OR 1.80; 95% CI: 1.36; 2.40, p < 0.0001). There was no difference between the comparison groups in terms of complete heart block, new permanent pacemaker implantation, or bleeding.
Conclusion: In patients with severe AS and HCM, TAVR was associated with significantly higher occurrence of mortality, cardiogenic shock, aortic dissection, vascular complications, and renal impairment as well as the need for mechanical ventilation than patients who did not have HCM.

Background: The prognostic implications of cerebral microbleeds (CMBs) in patients who undergo transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) have not been fully elucidated. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the association between the presence of CMBs and adverse outcomes post-TAVR.
Methods: In this single-center retrospective study, we included 124 patients who underwent brain magnetic resonance imaging before TAVR.

Objectives: Treatment decisions for severe aortic stenosis (AS) are complex, since there are two active and comparable options: transcatheter aortic valve implantation and surgical aortic valve replacement. The disease predominantly affects older individuals, who are frequently comorbid with from cognitive impairment. This study aimed to establish a screening-triggered system to assess the decision-making capacity of patients with AS, support their decision-making, and facilitate referrals to specialists when necessary.

Background: Transcatheter edge-to-edge mitral valve repair (M-TEER) using the MitraClip system is primarily performed using the transfemoral approach. However, when this approach is not feasible, the transjugular approach can be used as an alternative.
Case Summary: A 57-year-old man presented with heart failure and persistent New York Heart Association class IV symptoms, refractory to guideline-directed medical therapy, intravenous therapy, and intra-aortic balloon pumping.

Background: Vascular and bleeding complications remain a concern after transfemoral transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). The impact of the sheath type on these complications remains unclear.
Methods: The prospective MARVEL registry study analyzed enrolled 500 patients undergoing large-bore transfemoral procedures and arteriotomy closure with the MANTA vascular closure device from 10 hospitals in Europe and Canada.
