Researchers tracked SWEDEHEART data from more than 8,000 TAVR patients treated from 2008 to 2022. Overall, they said, PPM after TAVR was rare, and its impact on outcomes was "negligible."

Physicians and researchers complete thousands of clinical trials each year, but some findings prove far more significant than others. For cardiologist Dharmesh Patel, MD, the results of the SMART trial have changed the way he’s managing and recommending treatment for women with symptomatic severe aortic stenosis.

Some of the most talked about data at ACC.24 were the results of a late-breaking clinical trial comparing different transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) valves in patients with a small aortic annulus. 

The young patient was discharged 10 days later, and no postoperative complications have been reported.

Trainees interested in interventional cardiology will now be able to use the Match program to find the right program for their needs. The move is associated with multiple benefits as well as some key challenges.

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?
