Stents for transcatheter aortic valve replacement
… heart disease (RHD) is the leading cause of aortic valve disease in the world. Surgery to repair or replace the diseased valves is the only means to save a patient's life once the disease becomes symptomatic. Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has revolutionised the treatment of …

Fluid Dynamics Assessment of Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement Performance
Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) an alternative therapy to standardized surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) in the treatment of severe symptomatic aortic stenosis has evolved greatly in the last decade based on results from successful clinical trials. These trials revealed …

Improving Preadmission Testing Nurses' Knowledge of Aortic Stenosis and Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement
… (PAT) nurses’ knowledge of severe/critical aortic stenosis (AS), transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) procedure and patient selection, and satisfaction with knowledge by 10%. Rapid growth of the TAVR program has contributed to a gap in nursing knowledge leading to inconsistent …

Comparison of patient outcome for aortic valve replacement verses transcatheter aortic valve replacement
Aortic stenosis or narrowing of the aortic valve is the most common cause for surgical valvular replacement in the United States. The disease of aortic stenosis has a long asymptomatic latency period followed by a quickly progressing symptomatic phase. Symptoms of the disease include dyspnea, …

The Surgical Management of Severe Aortic Stenosis In the Era of Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement
Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has emerged as a treatment option for severe and symptomatic aortic stenosis across the spectrum of surgical risk and has potentially transformed the surgical management of aortic stenosis. The objectives of this dissertation were: (1) To determine if …

DEVELOPMENT AND VALIDATION OF B2AND2SV2ASC SCORE FOR PREDICTING RISK OF STROKE ONE YEAR AFTER TRANSCATHETER AORTIC VALVE REPLACEMENT
INTRODUCTION Stroke after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality. It increases the risk of mortality within one year of TAVR threefold. It is also associated with significant disability and increased health care costs. A validated risk …

Thirty-Day Readmissions after Early versus Delayed Discharge after Uncomplicated Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement: Insights from the Nationwide Readmissions Database
Early discharge after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has generally shown to be safe; however, studies have been limited to single centers or trial populations, making their generalizability unclear. This study sought to examine the rate of rehospitalization after early vs. late …

Predicting Transcatheter Aortic Valve Leaflet Thrombosis Risk Using Pre-Procedural Computed Tomography Angiogram and Computational Modeling
Aortic stenosis (AS) is a disease that affects nearly 3% of adults above the age of 65 and is characterized by narrowing of the aortic heart valve due to calcium buildup. It restricts blood flow from the heart and, if left untreated, can lead to irreversible damage to the left ventricle wall and …
