Ultrasound versus angiographic guided access in transfemoral TAVI: intra-operator evaluation of vascular and bleeding complications Open
Background Both angiography roadmap (RM) and ultrasound (US) are commonly used to obtain femoral arterial access during transfemoral transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). In this analysis, we sought to evaluate the effect of impl…

Peri-Interventional Anesthesia Strategies for Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation: A Multicenter, Randomized, Controlled, Noninferiority Trial Open
BACKGROUND: Minimalist treatment strategies for transcatheter aortic valve implantation have been widely adopted because of continued procedural evolution, but large randomized trials are lacking. The DOUBLE-CHOICE trial (Randomized Study …

A-019 Unexpectedly High Cardiac Troponin Values in Healthy Athletes after SARS-CoV-2 Infection Open
Background Elevated levels of cardiac troponin I or T (cTnI, cTnT) in general have immediate clinical consequences including invasive cardiac imaging and rhythm monitoring. Macro-troponin is a complex of antitroponin autoantibodies and cTn…

Mitral valve replacement versus repair for severe mitral regurgitation in patients with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction Open
MV repair performed in primary or secondary MR and reduced LVEF provides superior long-term results compared with replacement. Severe LV dysfunction is a significant predictor of reduced survival following MV surgery.

Red blood cell distribution width (RDW) is associated with unfavorable functional outcome after transfemoral transcatheter aortic valve implantation Open
Elevated preprocedural RDW identifies patients at risk for impaired functional outcome after TAVI and may represent a useful low-cost parameter to guide intensity of outpatient surveillance strategies.

Early and long-term outcomes following redo mitral valve surgery in patients with prior minimally invasive mitral valve surgery Open
OBJECTIVES The frequency of minimally invasive mitral valve surgery (MVS) has steadily increased over the last decades and therefore surgeons are now encountering an increasing number of patients requiring mitral valve (MV) reoperations po…

A study of bailout plug-based closure after failed suture-based closure in patients undergoing transfemoral TAVI Open
Bailout MANTA after ProGlide failure was effective and safe, but operator experience seems to be crucial. Further technological refinements to facilitate accurate placement appear necessary.

Functional volume distribution in tricuspid regurgitation associated right heart failure Open
Background Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) associated right heart failure is a significant challenge, and while tricuspid edge-to-edge repair (TEER) has been suggested to improve outcomes, patients remain at substantial residual risk. Thus, a…
