The patient, 78, presented with severe AR and no signs of calcification. She was considered a poor choice for surgery or traditional TAVR due to multiple risks. That is where the new-look ATLAS technique came in. The patient, 78, presented with severe AR and no signs of calcification.

The new-look TAVR system was linked to multiple benefits after one year. The cardiologists evaluating this device belief it could significantly reduce the risk of long-term valve degeneration.

Serious complications are rare after TAVR, but they can be catastrophic or fatal when they do occur. The care team at Sentara Heart Hospital found that bringing in new 3D software made it much easier to plan ahead for such issues.

The Evolut Low Risk trial has been one of cardiology’s most closely watched studies for years now. For the first five years after treatment, TAVR and SAVR were associated with comparable outcomes when treating low-risk patients. In this new six-year update, however, TAVR was linked to a heightened risk of reintervention not seen with SAVR.

Oversizing transcatheter heart valves can improve TAVR outcomes. There is still a reason to be cautious, however, especially when patients are receiving a balloon-expandable valve.

Researchers have developed an advanced AI model capable of detecting signs of severe AS, mitral regurgitation and other complications in ECG results. For example, one 84-year-old patient who was hospitalized for a fractured femur ended up being scanned and treated with TAVR just days later.

The newly cleared CARA System from Cara Medical was designed to help clinicians before and during a variety of cardiac procedures. It provides a personalized 3D map of the patient's cardiac conduction system and then overlays that map onto live fluoroscopic images.

In fact, researchers wrote, TAVR and SAVR were linked to comparable long-term outcomes for heart patients who have previously been exposed to mediastinal radiation.

Many experts still recommend SAVR over TAVR for patients younger than 65 years old with severe aortic stenosis. However, transcatheter treatments are growing more and more popular when these younger patients require a valve replacement.

Redo TAVR can be challenging, requiring a significant amount of preprocedural CT planning. This proposed framework was designed to simplify that planning and help interventional cardiologists thrive.
