Transcatheter “Sandwich” Valve-in-Valve Implantation Technique for Pure Aortic Regurgitation: Operation Skills and Single Center Experience

“Sandwich” Valve-in-Valve Implantation TechniqueAnnouncing a new article publication for Cardiovascular Innovations and Applications journal.  No commercial “on-label” transfemoral transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) device for aortic regurgitation (AR) is available in most countries. TAVR for AR with an “off-label” self-expanding device has shown acceptable procedural success but it elevated rates of early mortality and other complications. (more…)

Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement in Patients ≥80 and <80 Years of Age with Aortic Valve Stenosis at Moderate Surgical Risk: Findings from an Observational Study in the Vietnamese Population

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…)

Balloon Rupture during Pre-Dilation for Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement in Patients with a Bicuspid Aortic Valve: Classification, Treatment Strategies, and Prevention

Announcing a new article publication for Cardiovascular Innovations and Applications journal. Balloon rupture during transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is a rare but serious complication.

The authors of this article present two cases of balloon rupture in patients with severe aortic stenosis and type 0 bicuspid aortic valves. Three-dimensional models based on pre-procedure cardiac CT angiography were used to investigate these cases post hoc. The models revealed asymmetrical distribution of calcifications with sharply spiked features in the bicuspid aortic valves. The narrow calcified orifices resulted in uneven force distribution on the expanded balloon, thus leading to balloon rupture. Additionally, the classification and causes of balloon rupture are reviewed, methods for avoiding complications are summarized, and treatment options are described.

Accurate pre-procedural anatomy evaluation and computer modeling are crucial for planning and managing TAVR procedures. Further investigation through computer simulation is necessary to determine the appropriate balloon size and inflation locations, to provide a reference for pre-procedural preparation.

Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement for Aortic Regurgitation

Announcing a new article publication for Cardiovascular Innovations and Applications journal.  Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is currently a widely used option for patients with severe symptomatic aortic stenosis with high to low surgical risk. However, aortic regurgitation (AR) remains an “off-label” indication for TAVR, particularly for patients with mild or absent leaflet calcification or aortic annulus dimensions beyond the size of the bioprosthesis, which increase the risk of dislocation. With advances in transcatheter heart valve devices, the safety and efficacy of TAVR in treating patients with severe pure native AR has gained acceptance.

This article examines current evidence and clinical practice, and presents technological advancements in devices for AR.

Sex Differences in Transcatheter Structural Heart Disease Interventions: How Much Do We Know?

Announcing a new article publication for Cardiovascular Innovations and Applications journal.  The number of structural heart disease interventions has greatly increased in the past decade. Moreover, interest in the sex-specific outcomes of various cardiovascular conditions and procedures has increased. The authors of this article discuss the sex differences in the clinical profiles and outcomes of patients undergoing the most commonly performed structural procedures: transcatheter aortic valve replacement, transcatheter edge to edge repair of the mitral and tricuspid valve, transcatheter pulmonary valve replacement, patent foramen ovale closure and left atrial appendage occlusion. The potential reasons for these differences are reviewed and the authors emphasize the importance of increasing the representation of women in randomized clinical trials, to understand these differences and support the application of these cutting-edge technologies.
