Assessment of cardiovascular function following transcatheter aortic valve implantation based on six-minute walk test.
BACKGROUND Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is presently a recognized treatment mo-dality for patients with severe aortic stenosis ineligible for surgery. It reduces mortality as compared to the conservative treatment. It is further expected from this therapy to improve quality of life by improving of the cardiovascular function performance. The aim of this study is to compare pat...
متن کاملAtrial Fibrillation Following Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation
The issue of atrial fibrillation (AF) following TAVI may seem of limited interest at first sight, and this is probably the reason why this issue has not been addressed in depth so far. First, AF is usually a more important concern in mitral than in aortic valve diseases. Second, the occurrence of AF following surgery under cardiopulmonary bypass is generally interpreted as a consequence of peri...
متن کاملCoronary Obstruction Following Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation
BACKGROUND Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) was established as an important alternative for high-risk patients with severe aortic stenosis. However, there are few data in the literature regarding coronary obstruction, that although rare, is a potentially fatal complication. OBJECTIVE Evaluate this complication in Brazil. METHODS We evaluated all patients presenting coronary ob...
متن کاملPrognostic value of exercise capacity as evaluated by the 6-minute walk test in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation.
Introduction. The 6MWT is a simple and safe functional test used in clinical trials to assess treatment outcomes, but its prognostic value in patients undergoing TAVI is unknown. The objective of our study was to determine the prognostic value of exercise capacity as evaluated by the 6-minute walking test (6MWT) in patients with severe symptomatic aortic stenosis undergoing transcatheter aortic...
متن کاملTranscatheter Aortic Valve Implantation
A 97-year-old man was referred for assessment to our transcather aortic valve implantation (TAVI) team. He had suffered multiple hospitalizations for heart failure with a signifi cantly elevated BNP at 1830 pg/mL. At the time of assessment, he had grade IV New York Heart Association (NYHA) symptoms. Until recently, he had been working actively, but this had subsequently been severely limited by...
