Abstract Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is a widely accepted treatment strategy for patients with severe aortic stenosis across all risk profiles. Pacing stimulation of the right ventricle (RV) is…
Abstract Background Cardiac tamponade is a rare but potentially lethal complication of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). There is paucity of evidence assessing the incidence and outcomes of patients with…
Abstract Background The Small Annuli Randomized to Evolut or SAPIEN Trial showed superior hemodynamics of self-expanding valves (SEVs) over balloon-expandable valves (BEVs) in patients with small aortic annuli (SAA). The…
Abstract The advent and success of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) for the treatment of severe, symptomatic aortic stenosis (AS) has sparked a renewed interest in the disease process associated…
Abstract Valve-in-valve transcatheter aortic valve replacement is an established alternative to conventional surgical reoperation for failed aortic bioprosthetic valves. The technique has undergone significant refinements in recent years, aiming to…
Abstract Background Interference with the cardiac conduction system is common after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI), manifesting as atrioventricular block, or more commonly, new-onset persistent left bundle branch block (NOP-LBBB)….
Abstract Background Ischemic cardiomyopathy, commonly attributable to coronary artery disease, leads to ventricular remodeling. Surgical ventricular reconstruction (SVR) aims to reverse this by restoring cardiac morphology. This review evaluates SVR’s…
Highlights • This case provides a unique approach for left atrial appendage occlusion using a Watchman and Amulet device. • Our technique for left atrial appendage occlusion shows the safety…
Abstract The American Society of Echocardiography recommendations published in 2024 for evaluating prosthetic heart valve (PHV) function with cardiovascular imaging include new recommendations for the use of cardiac magnetic resonance…
Abstract Permanent pacemaker implantation (PPMI) is an important complication following transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). The influence of valvular and subvalvular calcium and its distribution between aortic leaflets on the…
