Zero-contrast Imaging Guided Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement in Patients with Severe Chronic Kidney Disease: A Feasibility and Outcome Study

Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement: A Review Article

Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is a novel therapeutic intervention for the replacement of severely stenotic aortic valves in high-risk patients for standard surgical procedures. Since the initial PARTNER trial results, use of TAVR has been on the rise each year. New delivery methods and different valves have been developed and modified in order to promote the minimally invasive p...

Risk of acute kidney injury in patients with severe aortic valve stenosis undergoing transcatheter valve replacement.

BACKGROUND Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) for high-risk and inoperable patients with severe aortic stenosis is an emerging procedure in cardiovascular medicine. Little is known of the impact of TAVI on renal function. METHODS We analysed retrospectively renal baseline characteristics and outcome in 58 patients including 2 patients on chronic haemodialysis undergoing TAVI at ou...

Multimodality imaging in transcatheter aortic valve replacement.

Transcatheter aortic valve replacement is a major advance that has dramatically changed our approach to elderly patients with severe aortic stenosis. This advance has been made possible by innovative device and delivery improvements, coupled with rapid developments in multimodality imaging. Multimodality imaging draws from multiple imaging fields and is central to patient evaluation and treatme...
