Carrie Redick, an ICU nurse for nearly 20 years, said understanding more about financial data improved her ability to acquire funding and other resources for her program when necessary. 

Cerebral protection devices, designed to limit the risk of stroke during transcatheter aortic valve replacement, may be especially helpful when patients undergo valve-in-valve TAVR.

The veteran cardiologist had been worried that cerebral protection devices were only being used to treat TAVR patients with specific insurance plans. The lawsuit has now been resolved to the “mutual satisfaction” of both parties.

Alain Cribier, MD, a veteran interventional cardiologist out of France, died at the age of 79. The procedure he helped put on the map is arguably cardiology's most significant breakthrough in the last several decades. 

ACC/STS National Cardiovascular Data Registry metrics reporting for TAVR is important for marketing and care quality, explains Patricia Keegan, NP, with the Emory Heart and Vascular Center.

However, that one finding does not tell the whole story. Researchers also found that DOACs may increase a TAVR patient's risk of a disabling stroke.

The rise of TAVR as a go-to treatment option for many AS patients has been one of the biggest stories in cardiology for several years now. How will advanced AI models impact this trend going forward? 

TAVR continues to gain momentum as a go-to treatment option for severe AS, making it more important than ever to investigate long-term outcomes. This latest analysis, published in European Heart Journal, focused on 280 patients randomized to undergo either transcatheter or surgical aortic valve replacement.
