Population screening for TAVI procedure

چکیده
Background Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is an alternative that offers hope to patients who are older, or have contraindication to conventional surgical aortic valve replacement due to considerable comorbidities. In our country there is about 500 to 1000 patients, older than 80 years needing this, less invasive procedure. The aim of this study was to asses the number of high-risk patients with severe aortic stenosis, hospitalized at our institute, which are candidates for percutaneous aortic valve implantation.

Early safety outcome following transcatheter aortic valve implantation: is the amount of contrast media used a matter of concern?
QUESTIONS UNDER STUDY The study objective was to evaluate the impact of the amount of contrast medium used for transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) on short-term outcome. Patients undergoing TAVI are exposed to repeat contrast medium application both for preprocedural screening and during the TAVI procedure itself. Whether the amount of contrast media is associated with worse outcome ...

متن کاملRelative Survival After Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation: How Do Patients Undergoing Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation Fare Relative to the General Population?
BACKGROUND Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is indicated for patients with aortic stenosis who are intermediate-high surgical risk. Although all-cause mortality rates after TAVI are established, survival attributable to the procedure is unclear because of competing causes of mortality. The aim was to report relative survival (RS) after TAVI, which accounts for background mortality...

At follow-up, New York Heart Association functional class III or IV was present in 10% of the population. Mean transaortic gradients decreased from 44.3 17.2 mm Hg (before TAVI) to 10.2 5.2 mm Hg (after TAVI), and aortic valve area increased from 0.6 0.2 cm (before TAVI) to 1.9 0.3 cm (after TAVI; p 0.001 for oth comparisons). Perivalvular leak of 2 or more was present in 5% of patients. No cas...
متن کاملEuroScore 2 for identification of patients for transapical aortic valve replacement - a single center retrospective in 206 patients
BACKGROUND Operative risk scoring algorithms identify patients with severe AS for transcatheter valve implantation in whom the anticipated operative mortality for conventional surgery would be considered prohibitive. We compared the three risk scores EuroScore 1 (LES), society of thoracic surgeons' (STS) score and ACEF (age-creatinine-ejection fraction score) to the readjusted EuroScore 2 recen...
