Article Synopsis
  • Study Purpose
  • : The study aims to compare the outcomes of TAVR surgical explantation (TAVR-explant) and redo-TAVR in patients who experienced failures after the initial transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR).
  • Findings
  • : TAVR-explant was associated with a shorter median time to reintervention compared to redo-TAVR and resulted in higher rates of mortality at both 30 days and 1 year. The reasons for reintervention differed between the two groups, with TAVR-explant showing more prosthesis-patient mismatch and redo-TAVR showing more structural valve degeneration.
  • Conclusion
  • : Overall, TAVR-explant

GATA-2 is an essential transcription factor in the hematopoietic system that is expressed in hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and progenitors. Complete deficiency of GATA-2 in the mouse leads to severe anemia and embryonic lethality. The role of GATA-2 and dosage effects of this transcription factor in HSC development within the embryo and adult are largely unexplored.

In a hematology unit in the Netherlands, the incidence of ciprofloxacin-resistant Enterobacter cloacae and Escherichia coli increased from from 1996 to 1999. Clonal spread of single genotypes of both ciprofloxacin-resistant E. coli and Enterobacter cloacae from patient to patient was documented by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis and random amplification of polymorphic DNA.
