Mitral regurgitation (MR) is a complex disorder requiring the understanding of mitral anatomy and pathophysiology. With the increasing patient population of mitral regurgitation, both functional and degenerative types, and our desire for less invasive treatment approaches, transcatheter mitral valve therapies (TMVT) have emerged. After more than a decade of advancements, development in TMVT still… View more

Managing Stroke During Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement
Author(s): Florian Hecker , Mani Arsalan , Thomas Walther Added: 3 years ago
Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has become the default treatment option for high-risk patients with aortic stenosis (AS) and, based on heart team discussion, an alternative to surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) in intermediate-risk patients. TAVR has led to a paradigm shift in the basic therapeutic principle to treat AS: calcifications, in some patients quite excessive, are… View more

Chimney Stenting During Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation
Author(s): Liesbeth Rosseel , Michael Rosseel , Brian G Hynes , et al Added: 3 years ago
Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has emerged as a safe and effective strategy for the treatment of symptomatic and severe aortic valve stenosis (AS).1 The choice between a transcatheter or surgical approach is no longer dependant on the estimated surgical risk, but rather the institutional heart team’s assessment of medical comorbid illnesses and frailty, individual cardiac and… View more

Anticoagulation after Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation: Current Status
Author(s): Antonio Greco , Davide Capodanno Added: 3 years ago
Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is a valuable treatment option for patients with severe symptomatic aortic stenosis.1 Its use is supported by the results of multiple randomised controlled trials (RCTs) exploring the entire surgical risk spectrum, including inoperable, high-risk, intermediate risk and low risk patients.2–8 TAVI is associated with a small but not negligible… View more

Over the past 30 years, several percutaneous transcatheter technologies and devices for interventions in structural heart diseases (SHDs) have been introduced (see Table 1). There are numerous technologies that are in development or are currently being used to treat patients with SHD that use transcatheter techniques. The variety of percutaneous treatment approaches has led to a revolution and… View more

Over the past nine years, since the first transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) by Cribier et al.1 in France in 2002, this new technique has enthralled cardiologists all over the world. With the deployment of TAVI – about 40,000 procedures have been carried out worldwide so far – cardiologists intruded into the previously unshared domain of surgical aortic valve replacement. Albeit… View more

During the past five years, transcatheter (T) aortic valve implantation (AVI) has evolved as one of the most important clinical innovations in cardiovascular disease. The specific merit of TAVI is to allow for minimally invasive treatment of severe symptomatic aortic stenosis (AS) in elderly and high-risk patients. Since 2005 retrograde transfemoral (TF) and antegrade transapical (TA) aortic… View more
