A life cycle assessment found SAVR emits ~620–750 kg CO2e per case—roughly double OR- or cath-lab TAVR (~280–360 kg CO2e). ICU length of stay and postoperative care were the dominant contributors, highlighting targets for low-carbon periope
At 7 years, transcatheter and surgical aortic valve replacement show comparable outcomes including survival, stroke, and valve durability among low-risk patients with severe aortic stenosis, affirming TAVR’s long-term efficacy.
This article reviews increasing volumes and incidence of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) reinterventions, analyzing procedural trends of redo TAVR and TAVR explant over the past decade, emphasizing implications for clinical pr
The NOTION-2 trial demonstrates comparable three-year outcomes between TAVR and SAVR in low-risk patients aged 60-75 with severe tricuspid or bicuspid aortic stenosis, with low rates of valve deterioration and re-intervention.
Underexpansion of the ACURATE neo2 valve during TAVR is linked to increased risk of death, stroke, and rehospitalization at one year, suggesting that achieving optimal valve expansion may improve patient outcomes.
Cardiac biomarkers NT-proBNP and hs-cTnT predict higher risk in asymptomatic severe aortic stenosis, but early TAVR benefits patients regardless of biomarker levels, with greater relative advantage seen in those with lower biomarker concent
