Prognostic Implications of Degenerative Mitral Regurgitation on Eligibility for TAVI

Announcing a new article publication for Cardiovascular Innovations and Applications journal.  Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has emerged as the primary treatment strategy for severe symptomatic aortic stenosis (AS) in the older population (>75 years of age) with high-risk surgical profiles.

The growing older population and the concomitant age-related high prevalence of degenerative AS, combined with evidence of the non-inferiority of the TAVI procedure over surgical aortic valve replacement in intermediate-risk patients, increase the potential number of TAVI candidates. Concerns regarding the higher costs of TAVI than surgical aortic valve replacement are balanced by its shorter length of hospitalization and lower acute complication costs.

Transcatheter Aortic Valve ReplacementAnnouncing a new article publication for Cardiovascular Innovations and Applications journal. The increasing number of elderly patients with severe aortic valve stenosis undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has prompted concerns regarding their clinical outcomes compared with the younger population. This study evaluated the outcomes of TAVR on the basis (more…)
