Background : Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is standard therapy for patients
with severe aortic stenosis who are at high surgical risk. However, national data regarding …

Background— Transcatheter aortic valve implantation was developed to mitigate the mortality
and morbidity associated with high-risk traditional aortic valve replacement. The Edwards …

Percutaneous transluminal balloon coronary angioplasty (PTCA) of coronary bifurcations is
associated with a low success rate, high rate of complications, and high incidence of target …

Objectives : We sought to compare, in a prospective randomized multicenter study, the
effect of adjunctive thrombectomy using X-Sizer (eV3, White Bear Lake, Minnesota) before …

Aims The MITRA‐FR trial showed that among symptomatic patients with severe secondary

Background In patients who have chronic heart failure with reduced left ventricular ejection
fraction, severe secondary mitral-valve regurgitation is associated with a poor prognosis. …

Importance Owing to a considerable shift toward bioprosthesis implantation rather than
mechanical valves, it is expected that patients will increasingly present with degenerated …

option for patients considered to be ineligible for, and to mitigate mortality and morbidity …

Background Frailty is a geriatric syndrome that diminishes the potential for functional recovery
after a transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) or surgical aortic valve replacement (…

Objectives : This study sought to evaluate the incidence, impact, and predictors of vascular
complications in transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). Background : Vascular …
