چکیده

transcatheteraortic valve implantation, first introduced in 2002, has been established as an alternative modality for patients deemed not suitable for open-heart surgery. the anatomical vicinity of the atrioventricular node and the his bundle to the non-coronary and rightcoronary aortic cusps predisposes patients to conduction abnormalities in case of severe calcification or mechanical trauma during valve implantation. however, the two evaluated valves (corevalve and edwards sapien valve) have different rates of these complications, mainly driven by their respective geometry. currently, there is ongoing evaluation of the true rate of conduction disorders and their clinical relevance or durability. the initial experience of fatal outcomes with conduction disorders such as complete atrioventricular block has increased the rate of subsequent pacemaker implantation up to 50%. however, prophylactic pacemaker implantation is associated with several possible complications. thus, there is a need for further data from large-scale series taking into account the true rate of clinically relevant conduction disorders.

Conduction abnormalities after transcatheter aortic valve implantation

In the last few years, transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has become an alternative procedure in patients with severe aortic stenosis and high risk for surgical aortic replacement. Due to the anatomic correlation between aortic valve structure and conduction system of the heart, one of the most common complications after TAVI is conduction system disturbances which including bundle ...

Conduction Abnormalities after Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation and Diastolic Dysfunction.

OBJECTIVES Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is frequently associated with the development of conduction abnormalities. We assessed the effect of conduction abnormalities on diastolic function following TAVI. METHODS In total, 101 consecutive post-TAVI patients were included, each with echocardiographic follow-up at 1 and 6 months. Diastolic properties were correlated with the oc...

Cognitive trajectory after transcatheter aortic valve implantation.

BACKGROUND Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is known to be associated with silent cerebral injury, which could contribute to cognitive impairment. Considering its increasing use, thorough longitudinal investigation of cognitive trajectory after TAVI is pivotal. METHODS AND RESULTS Repeatable battery for the assessment of neuropsychological status was performed before (E1), 3 day...

Transcatheter 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...

Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation

Calcific aortic stenosis (AS) is the most common form of degenerative heart valve disease in developed countries. AS predominantly affects the elderly with a prevalence of 4% in people over the age of 80 years. With increasing longevity and an ageing population the absolute number of people afflicted with AS is set to rise. The clinical course of the disease is insidious at first (Ross & Braunw...

Transcatheter aortic valve implantation

Transcatheter aortic valve implantation was developed to offer a therapeutic solution to patients with severe symptomatic aortic stenosis who are not candidates for conventional aortic valve replacement. The improvement in transcatheter aortic valve implantation outcomes is still of concern in the areas of stroke, vascular injury, heart block, paravalvular regurgitation and valve durability. Co...
