Aortic Valve Stenosis

Adults with acute MI who also had moderate aortic stenosis were more likely to develop HF during hospitalization and die during the first year of follow-up compared with patients with MI and mild or no aortic stenosis, researchers reported.

In the PORTICO NG study of a next-generation transcatheter aortic valve replacement system, there were no cases of moderate or greater paravalvular leak at 30 days, researchers reported at Cardiovascular Research Technologies.

Before the emergence of the heart team in transcatheter aortic valve repair, the collaboration of an interventionalist and cardiac surgeon for the treatment of a single patient with CVD was a decidedly less common occurrence in cardiology.

Atrial fibrillation was associated with mortality in patients with significant aortic stenosis, but correction for left ventricular diastolic function rendered the association not significant, researchers reported.

Researchers in China reported successful transcatheter aortic valve replacements using a novel repositionable and retrievable self-expanding valve in 10 patients with severe symptomatic aortic stenosis.

The American College of Cardiology announced the late-breaking science lineup for its Scientific Session to be held March 4-6, 2023 in New Orleans and online.

Transcatheter aortic valve replacement using a self-expanding bioprosthesis was associated with lower risk for structural valve deterioration vs. surgical valve replacement at 5 years, researchers reported.

Among patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement, increased frailty was independently associated with worse outcomes, including all-cause death, whereas cancer history did not independently affect frailty-adjusted mortality.

BOSTON — In patients with aortic stenosis, a greater degree of cardiac damage before transcatheter or surgical aortic valve replacement increased the likelihood of poor quality of life outcomes after the procedure, researchers reported.

BOSTON — Changes in devices and procedural care were the biggest factor in improvements in short-term outcomes for patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement, researchers reported at TCT 2022.
