The JenaValve overcomes technical challenges of TAVR in AR through a clipping mechanism. We report satisfactory outcomes of a multicenter registry using the JenaValve for predominant AR, as rate of THV embolization, residual AR and permanent pacemaker implantation was low. One-year results using the JenaValve for AR encourage its use for this indication.
Aortic regurgitation remains a challenging pathology for TAVI. After initial demonstration of feasibility, this multicenter study revealed the JenaValve transcatheter heart valve as a reasonable option in this subset of patients. However, a significant early noncardiac mortality related to the high-risk population emphasizes the need for careful patient selection.
Regardless of the access route, TMVIV/TMVIR was associated with high technical success yet impaired device success. In the long term, TA access had a significant adverse impact on survival.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
