The TAVR procedure involves opening the diseased valve with a balloon from a catheter placed through a large artery in the groin, followed by placement of a new valve. Once the new valve is expanded, it pushes the old valve leaflets out of the way and the replacement valve resumes the job...
Experience with the transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) procedure has increased considerably over the last few years. Currently, TAVR represents the standard of care for most inoperable patients, is an alternative to surgery in patients with high risk for surgical aortic valve replacement, ...
This review outlines the principal aspects of TAVR, the multidisciplinary approach and utilisation of different imaging modalities, as well as a step-by-step approach to MDCT acquisition protocols, reconstruction techniques, pre-procedure measurements and post-procedure assessment. Teaching Points •TAVR ...
TAVR operators have embraced multimodality imaging to plan procedures, guide implantation, and evaluate patients post-procedure. However, it is not yet clear whether cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) has a role in the everyday management of these complex patients. Pre-procedure, TAVR patients ...
The TAVR CathAID app team comprises of interventional and structural cardiology faculty and fellows at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. This app is an educational tool with step by step approach guided by illustrations and aminations to perform diagnostic coronary angiogram and percutaneous co...
In recent years, transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has become the leading method for treating aortic stenosis. While the procedure has improved dramatically in the past decade, there are still uncertainties about the impact of TAVR on coronar
During the EVAR procedure all the material needed to proceed to an 'urgent' aortic valvuloplasty or TAVR if necessary was available and ready. The proposed treatment was effective in all treated patients, offering the resolution of both problems through totally percutaneous treatment in patients with...
59 It is expected that lower limbs will be excluded from circulation for at least 60 minutes during a standard EVAR procedure; reperfusion may then lead to kidney damage by releasing myoglobin and inflammatory molecules.60 The presence of an inflammatory infiltrate (i.e., in the actual ...
Aim of the present analysis was to collect and pool all available data currently in the literature regarding outcomes and complications of all approved TAVR prosthesis and to assess the transition from first to next generation TAVR devices by directly comparing both in regard of procedure related com...
Ad Anja Stundl, M.D., from Heart Center Bonn in Germany, and colleagues measured cardiac high-sensitivity troponin I (hsTnI) and creatine kinase MB (CK-MB) levels at pre-defined time points in 756 consecutive TF TAVR patients to assess the occurrence of myocardial injury during the first ...
