PHOENIX, AZ—Patients who require cardiac surgery on another valve after initially being treated with TAVI have very high operative morbidity and mortality, with a 30-day death rate exceeding 17%, ...

In patients with symptomatic severe aortic stenosis at intermediate or higher surgical risk, CoreValve or Evolut transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) was associated with a lower 5-year ...

San Francisco, CA --Quality-of-life (QoL) data from the PARTNER A trial should prompt a "rethink" of how many transcatheter aortic-valve implantations (TAVI) are performed via the transapical route, ...

Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) was superior to surgical aortic valve replacement for reducing death, stroke or rehospitalization in women with severe aortic stenosis, according to late ...

Background Native aortic valve endocarditis continues to present significant operative challenges, often complicated by heart ...

Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) gives broadly comparable results to conventional open surgery, with equal efficacy, faster recovery time and improved quality of life at one year, ...

A significant advancement in cardiac care, Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) is increasingly being adopted as a ...

Aortic valve replacement gives you a new aortic heart valve. The new valve may be mechanical or made of animal tissue, often from a pig. Your doctor will talk with you before surgery about which type ...

Findings from the PARTNER 2 randomized trial indicate that transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is noninferior to surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) in intermediate-risk patients with ...

Aortic valve surgery encompasses a spectrum of interventions designed to correct valvular dysfunction and aortic root pathology. Traditional approaches, such as the Bentall procedure, involve ...

The aortic valve sits between the heart’s left ventricle and the aorta. It opens and closes with the heartbeat to allow blood to flow to the body without leaking back into the heart. It may need to be ...
