Right bundle-branch block (RBBB) is a strong predictor of the development of high-grade AV block (AVB) after TAVI. A total of 121 patients with RBBB who underwent TAVI between 2009-2021 were included. A total of 41 patients (33.9%) received a...

We compared procedural and follow-up complications of TAVI patients based on the type of antithrombotic treatment used (single-antiplatelet vs dual-antiplatelet vs warfarin). This relatively small series suggests that DAPT does not protect...

A variety of approaches are used for mitral valve repair and replacement operations. Rare complications specific to the surgical method may need to be considered if patients encounter unexplained problems postoperatively. We discuss such an...
