Background : Neurological complications after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR)
may be reduced with transcatheter cerebral embolic protection (TCEP). Objectives : This …

Ventricular septal rupture (VSR) after acute myocardial infarction is increasingly rare in the
percutaneous coronary intervention era but mortality remains high. Prompt diagnosis is key …

Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is a safe and feasible alternative to surgery in
patients with symptomatic severe aortic stenosis regardless of the surgical risk. Conduction …

Importance Bioprosthetic mitral valves are implanted with increasing frequency but inevitably
degenerate, leading to heart failure. Reoperation is associated with high morbidity and …

Importance Two initial sham-controlled trials demonstrated that ultrasound renal denervation
decreases blood pressure (BP) in patients with mild to moderate hypertension and …

Background: The conventional method of implanting balloon-expandable SAPIEN-3 (S3)
valve results in a final 70:30 or 80:20 ratio of the valve in the aorta:left ventricular outflow tract …

Implantable cardiac devices, including defibrillators and pacemakers, may be the cause of
tricuspid regurgitation ( TR ) or may worsen existing TR . This review of the literature suggests …

Importance Reducing postprocedural stroke is important to improve the safety of transcatheter
aortic valve replacement (TAVR). Objective This study evaluated the trends of stroke …

Background Transcatheter aortic-valve replacement (TAVR) for the treatment of aortic
stenosis can lead to embolization of debris. Capture of debris by devices that provide cerebral …

Background: Open surgical closure and small-bore suture-based preclosure devices have
limitations when used for transcatheter aortic valve replacement, percutaneous endovascular …
