In EARLY TAVR, intervention improved outcomes over waiting in patients with class II or no indications for AVR consideration.

Objective To determine the cost-effectiveness of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) compared with surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) in a high-risk aortic stenosis (AS) population.

Sidebar: Executive Summary . Evolving aortic bioprosthesis. With new material availables such as nitinol, a bioprosthesis can be mounted on a stent and delivered either surgically or percutaneously.

Overall, there were 15.8 cases of valve thrombosis per 100 patient-years, with 8.5 and 14.0 events per 100 patient-years of clinical and subclinical cases, respectively. This translated to 1.7% of ...

Aortic root (AR) and aortic valve (AV) pathologies encompass a wide spectrum including noninfective and infective diseases, such as AR dilation, dissection, and infective endocarditis (IE) which ...
