Clinical Outcomes of a Dedicated TAVR Device for Native Aortic Regurgitation: Insights From a Multicenter Real-World Experience

Hendrik Wienemann, Sara Yousefzada, Marc Adrian Rogmann, Kush P. Patel et autres

BACKGROUND: The JenaValve Trilogy Transcatheter Heart Valve System (Trilogy) is a CE-marked transcatheter aortic valve replacement device designed for the treatment of symptomatic aortic regurgitation. Despite its unique indication, data from large cohorts remain limited. This study aimed to evaluate procedural characteristics …

Residual SYNTAX score and outcomes after TAVR+PCI versus SAVR+CABG

Max (Dr. med.) Potratz, Vera Fortmeier, Katharina Höflsauer, Muhammed (Prof. Dr. med.) Gerçek et autres

\(\bf Background\) Aortic stenosis (AS) and coronary artery disease (CAD) frequently coexist, requiring careful revascularisation strategy consideration. While surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) plus coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is traditional, transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) plus percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is …

Invasive and Echocardiographic Mean Transvalvular Pressure Gradients of Different Transcatheter Aortic Valve Prostheses

Georges El-Hachem, Marcus-André Deutsch, Sebastián V. Rojas, Lech Paluszkiewicz et autres

Background/Objectives: This study aimed to assess the effectiveness and clinical relevance of intraprocedural invasive measurements—specifically intraprocedural mean pressure gradients (IC MPGs) and diastolic delta (DD)—in comparison with echocardiography for evaluating transcatheter heart valve (THV) performance across different prosthesis types. Particular attention was …

Different ECLS Pump Configurations for Temporary Right Ventricular Assist Device in LVAD Patients: A Retrospective Case–Control Study

Dragan Opačić, Christian Klüß, Darko Radakovic, Georges El-Hachem et autres

Background: Acute right ventricular failure is a critical complication after left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation, often managed with a temporary paracorporeal right ventricular assist device (RVAD). This study examined three extracorporeal life support (ECLS) systems regarding mortality, bleeding complications, and intensive …

Early and late outcomes after minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass vs. full sternotomy off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting

Mohammad Sharaf, Armin Zittermann, Jakub Sunavsky, Tomasz Gilis-Januszewski et autres

Objectives Minimally-invasive direct coronary artery bypass (MIDCAB) is a less-invasive alternative to full sternotomy off-pump coronary artery bypass (FS-OPCAB) revascularization of the left anterior descending artery (LAD). Some studies suggested that MIDCAB is associated with a greater risk of graft occlusion and …
