TAVR Surgery and Vascular Complications
نویسنده
چکیده
A recent study by researchers at Penn Medicine shows that incisionless transcathether aortic valve replacement (TAVR) surgery can cut down the length of hospital stay by 30%. It was also shown that there was no impact on post-operative vascular complication rates when compared with conventional transfemoral TAVR, which requires an incision in the groin. The study is published in Circulation: Cardiovascular Interventions.

متن کاملVascular complications of transcatheter aortic valve replacement: A concise literature review
Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is a relatively newer therapeutic modality which offers a promising alternative to surgical aortic valve replacement for patients with prohibitive, high and intermediate surgical risk. The increasing trend to pursue TAVR in these patients has also led to growing awareness of the associated potential vascular complications. The significant impact of ...
متن کاملAnalysis of cardiovascular mortality, bleeding, vascular and cerebrovascular events in patients with atrial fibrillation vs. sinus rhythm undergoing transfemoral Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVR)
BACKGROUND Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has been demonstrated to be an established therapy for high-risk, inoperable patients with severe symptomatic aortic valve stenosis. For patients with moderate surgical risk, TAVR is equivalent to conventional aortic valve surgery. However, atrial fibrillation (AF) is also present in many of these patients, thus requiring post-implantatio...
متن کاملThe impact of frailty status on survival after transcatheter aortic valve replacement in older adults with severe aortic stenosis: a single-center experience.
OBJECTIVES This study sought to evaluate the impact of frailty in older adults undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) for symptomatic aortic stenosis. BACKGROUND Frailty status impacts prognosis in older adults with heart disease; however, the impact of frailty on prognosis after TAVR is unknown. METHODS Gait speed, grip strength, serum albumin, and activities of daily liv...
متن کاملCombining Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement and Coronary Angiography/Percutaneous Coronary Intervention Procedures: Ready for Prime Time?
About half of elderly patients with severe aortic stenosis exhibit some degree of obstructive coronary artery disease that is routinely addressed at the time of surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR). Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has emerged as a valid alternative to SAVR for the treatment of intermediate to high surgical risk patients. More than half of TAVR candidates have ...
