Given emerging alternatives to AVR, such as transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), knowing the observed reoperative mortality rate in contemporary practice can better refine the risk of surgical AVR and enable consideration of TAVR in higher-risk patients. Methods Medicare beneficiaries > 65 ...
Ken Uchino, MD JAMA Cardiology Key Points Question Is there a time-dependent association of previous stroke and surgical aortic valve replacement with the risk of adverse outcomes among patients with aortic valve stenosis? Findings This cohort study using Danish administrative registry data included 14...
replacement to create balanced, training sets, e.g., sample 50 BAV and 50 tricuspid aortic valve (TAV) for a training set size of 100. We used balanced samples sizes of {50, 250, 500, 1000, 2000, 4000}. The final class balance for all 4239 weak labels in the training set was 264...
Valve replacement is the treatment of choice in symptomatic patients because the 5-yr mortality rate after onset of symptoms is extremely high, even with optimal medical therapy; valve replacement is indicated if cardiac catheterization establishes a pressure gradient >50 mm Hg and valve area <1 cm...
Aortic valve infective endocarditis (IE) is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. We aimed to describe the clinical profile, risk factors and predictors of short- and long-term mortality in patients with aortic valve IE treated with aortic valve replacement (AVR) compared with a contr...

and eventual death2. Several hypotheses have been proposed to explain the pathogenesis of CAVS3,4. However, except for surgical valve replacement, no medical treatment is effective in preventing the progression of CAVS based on the existing mechanisms5,6,7. Furthermore, it remains a great challen...

This study describes the long-term survival, risk of reoperation and clinical outcomes of patients undergoing solitary surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) with a Carpentier-Edwards Perimount (CE-P) bioprosthetic in Western Denmark. The renewed interest in SAVR is based on the questioning regardin...
