Imaging for Predicting and Assessing Prosthesis-Patient Mismatch After Aortic Valve Replacement

Prosthesis-patient mismatch (PPM) occurs when the effective orifice area (EOA) of the prosthetic valve is too small in relation to a patient's body size, thus resulting in high residual postoperative pressure gradients across the prosthesis. Severe PPM occurs in 2% to 20% of patients undergoing surgical aortic valve replacement (AVR) and is associa...

Prosthetic Aortic Valves: Challenges and Solutions.

Aortic Valve Disease (AVD) is the most common Valvular Heart Disease (VHD), affecting millions of people worldwide. Severe AVD is treated in most cases with prosthetic aortic valve replacement, which involves the substitution of the native aortic valve with a prosthetic one. In this review we will discuss the different types of prosthetic aortic va...

Primary safety and effectiveness feasibility study after surgical aortic valve replacement with a new generation biopros...

Published in Kardiologia polska

The new generation RESILIA™ tissue aortic valve bioprosthesis demonstrated excellent haemodynamic per-formance and safety outcomes at one year of follow-up. Longer follow-up of these patients will provide further insight on long-term durability.

Clinical presentation, surgical management, and outcomes of patients treated for aortic stenosis and coronary artery dis...

Published in Kardiologia polska

Elderly patients undergoing combined procedures of AVR and CABG having more extensive CAD less often receive complete revascularisation, are at higher risk of early organ failure, and present markedly reduced rates of freedom from cardiac-related deaths throughout follow-up than younger subjects.

Comparison of transcatheter versus surgical aortic valve implantation in high-risk patients: A nationwide study in Franc...

Objective: To compare the clinical outcomes and direct costs at 5 years between transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) and surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) using real-world evidence. Methods: We performed a nationwide longitudinal study using data from the French Hospital Information System from 2009 to 2015. We matched, inside hosp...

Body image after heart transplantation compared to mechanical aortic valve insertion.

Published in International journal of psychiatry in clinical practice

HT patients integrated the new organ well - and even better than AVR subjects did with the device. In general, our data corroborate a good adaptation process, in particular in HT patients. Similar to other reported data, a subgroup of 15-20% of patients shows stronger mental distress, including body image problems. These must be identified and trea...

Long-term follow-up of bioprosthetic aortic valve replacement in patients aged ≤60 years.

Published in The Journal of thoracic and cardiovascular surgery

The lifetime risk of SVD is considerable in patients aged ≤60 years at the time of bioprosthesis implantation. Nonetheless, durability remains consistent during the first decade; additional data are required for the second decade. Patients' information is pivotal for valve choice (competing-risks method).

Long-Term Outcomes With Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement in Women Compared With Men: Evidence From a Meta-Analysis...

Published in JACC. Cardiovascular interventions

Despite a higher upfront risk of complications, women derive a better long-term survival after TAVR compared with men.

Sex Differences in the Utilization and Outcomes of Surgical Aortic Valve Replacement for Severe Aortic Stenosis.

Published in Journal of the American Heart Association

Women have worse in-hospital mortality following AVR compared with men. Coupled with the accumulating evidence suggesting higher magnitude of benefit of transcatheter AVR over AVR in women, women should perhaps be offered transcatheter AVR over AVR at a lower threshold than men.
