Prosthetic Valve Dysfunction

ATLANTA — In a real-world population of patients with severe aortic stenosis at low or intermediate surgical risk, transcatheter aortic valve replacement was noninferior to surgery for death and stroke at 1 year, researchers reported.

Transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement in patients with trans-tricuspid valve pacemaker leads without re-replacement or lead extraction was safe with low risk for complications, researchers found.
