Novel Antegrade Approach to Transcatheter Aortic Valve Paravalvular Leak Closure
09/29/2019
In current practice, PVL closure is accomplished by retrograde wiring of the defect followed by delivery of catheters and retrograde extrusion of the device. Delivery of equipment can be challenging in TAVR because of interaction with the...

Surgical Risk Scores Applied to Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation: Friends or Foes? Short-Term and Long-Term Outcomes From a Single-Center Registry
09/28/2019
The predictive value of EuroScore II, logistic EuroScore, and STS score for patients undergoing TAVI is still unclear. We evaluated these three scores as predictors of short-term and long-term mortality in patients undergoing TAVI.
