Background—The objective of this study was to evaluate the timing, predictive factors, and
prognostic value of cerebrovascular events (CVEs) after transcatheter aortic valve …

Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is becoming a reality in the management of
patients with severe aortic stenosis and high or prohibitive risk for standard surgical …

Aortic stenosis is a common disorder. Aortic valve replacement is indicated in symptomatic
patients with severe aortic stenosis, as the prognosis of untreated patients is poor …

Background—Previous studies have shown cross-sectional 3-dimensional (3D)
transesophageal echocardiographic (TEE) measurements to severely underestimate …

Objectives: This study assessed whether multislice computed tomography (MSCT) could
predict optimal angiographic projections for visualizing the plane of the native valve and …

IMPLICATIONS: Transcatheter aortic valve implantation is a less invasive technique used to
treat aortic valvular stenosis in high-risk patients. This beating-heart technique avoids …

Objectives: This study aims to assess the mid-to long-term follow-up of patients after valve
embolization at the time of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). Background …
