Advanced AI technologies are starting to play a bigger role in TAVR care, helping cardiologists plan ahead, make critical decisions and predict potential complications. Looking to the future, though, it is clear this is just the beginning.

The recall was put in place after a hydrophilic coating was discovered on the inside of the devices. According to the FDA, patients treated with the catheters could face a number of significant risks.

The WVU Heart and Vascular Institute is hosting a two-day symposium focused on exploring the benefits and long-term potential of robotic aortic valve replacement. Fans of the procedure say it represents a safe, effective alternative to TAVR and SAVR in patients with severe aortic stenosis.

A system-wide initiative in Sweden helped hospitals reduce readmission rates and shorten lengths of stay. When it came to heart failure patients specifically, however, the changes barely made an impact.
