Leadless pacemakers may be an "attractive alternative" to transvenous devices when cardiologists treat older TAVR patients who experience conduction disorders.

Inspired by nature and funded by the European Research Council, a group of scientists and engineers thinks its new research could represent a significant breakthrough in TAVR care.

Care teams are always looking for new ways to limit the use of permanent pacemakers after TAVR. Could starting patients off with temporary devices be an answer? 

The self-expanding valve is not yet approved by the FDA, but care teams in other markets are reporting positive outcomes when patients go home the day after treatment. 

Patients with pulmonary hypertension are associated with increased short- and long-term risks of death following TAVR. Researchers emphasized the importance of learning as much as possible about this topic going forward. 

As one may expect, advances in TAVR and TMVR technologies are seen as key drivers of the market’s success.

Persistent and paroxysmal atrial fibrillation appear to affect short- and long-term TAVR mortality rates in different ways, according to a new study of nearly 3,000 patients. Some trends fade over time, while others remain in place after many years. 

It's clear that advanced AI algorithms will radically transform care for TAVR patients in the years ahead. For now, however, certain AI models may require too much data to be helpful on a consistent basis.
