Patient Eligibility for Transcatheter Mitral Valve Replacement

Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement: A Review Article

Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is a novel therapeutic intervention for the replacement of severely stenotic aortic valves in high-risk patients for standard surgical procedures. Since the initial PARTNER trial results, use of TAVR has been on the rise each year. New delivery methods and different valves have been developed and modified in order to promote the minimally invasive p...

Patient selection for transcatheter aortic valve replacement.

Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is transformative technology that offers a new and promising option for the management of patients with severe aortic stenosis who are either at high risk for traditional surgical aortic valve replacement (AVR) or inoperable. A significant clinical experience has been gained in these patients, with an estimated 60,000þ valves having been implanted s...

Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation in a Patient with Previous Mitral Valve Replacement

Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has shown favorable outcomes in patients with severe symptomatic aortic valve stenosis who are at high surgical risk or are unsuitable candidates for open heart surgery. However, concerns exist over treating patients who have previously undergone mitral valve surgery due to the potential interference between the mitral prosthetic valve or ring and ...
