1. Redo-TAVR had low procedural complication rates and was comparable to native-TAVR in terms of risk of death and stroke at 30 days and 1 year. 2. Rates of moderate-to-severe aortic regurgitation were comparable between groups. Evidence Rating Level: 1 (Excellent) Study Rundown: Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has become a standard treatment for aortic
Data suggest transcatheter aortic valve replacement with a balloon-expandable valve is an acceptable and safe treatment for patients with aortic stenosis and cardiogenic shock, researchers reported.Compared with patients with aortic stenosis who underwent TAVR and had no cardiogenic shock, those with aortic stenosis and cardiogenic shock who underwent TAVR had worse outcomes in-hospital and at 30
Patients who underwent a second transcatheter aortic valve replacement were no more likely to experience adverse in-hospital, 30-day and 1-year outcomes than those after a first TAVR, according to an analysis of real-world registry data.With the expansion of TAVR indications to younger populations, more patients will need a repeat aortic valve replacement in their lifetime, Raj R.
