Relationship between baseline patient-reported health status and patient-centered outcomes after Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement.

Background Aortic stenosis (AS) impairs health-related quality of life but the prognostic impact of patient-reported health status prior to transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is not fully established.Objectives To investigate the association of patient-reported health...

Incidence and Predictors of Complications After Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation According to VARC‐3 Criteria: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

BACKGROUND: Despite continuous advancements in devices and techniques, transcatheter aortic valve implantation remains associated with complications impacting outcomes. In 2021, the Valve Academic Research Consortium (VARC) introduced the VARC-3 criteria to better classify proced...

Short‐ and Long‐Term Outcomes After Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation With Large Self‐Expanding Valves

BACKGROUND: Patients with large aortic annuli are a more challenging subgroup for transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI), and data on long-term outcomes are sparse. AIMS: Compare outcomes of patients with large annular anatomies to outcomes of patients with regular anatom...
