In the modern days and the era of the rapid development of medical technology, the introduction of innovative invasive methods of treatment is gradually displacing traditional conventional surgery. In 2002 was performed the fi rst transcatheter implantation of an aortic valve. Over the next twenty years, with the advancement of technology and the accumulation of experience in clinical centers, transcatheter aortic valve implantation has become the standard in adult and high-risk patients with high-grade Ao stenosis. In a large percentage of cases enrolled under the transcatheter aortic valve protocol a concomitant ischemic heart disease is detected or known. Globally, there is no signifi cant difference in overall mortality on the thirtieth day after TAVI in patients with ischemic heart disease. However, the overall mortality was signifi cantly higher in one – year follow - up of patients after transcatheter aortic valve implantation with underlying coronary pathology. We conducted a study comparing the number of late and early adverse events in patients with concomitant fully revascularized ischemic heart disease and those with insignifi cant coronary atherosclerosis. Based on the data collected, analyzed and summarized in our clinical center, fully revascularized ischemic heart disease does not increase the percentage of major adverse events after transcatheter aortic valve implantation. It can be considered when assessing the risk of transcatheter aortic implantation, as part of the individual approach for each case.
Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is an established choice for the treatment of severe aortic stenosis (AS) in patients who are deemed inoperable or at high surgical risk. There are limited data for the safety and effi cacy of the method in patients with bicuspid aortic valve (BAV), the most common congenital valve defect. Patients with BAV were excluded from randomized clinical trials (RCTs), comparing TAVI to surgery due to the heterogeneous anatomy of this nosological unit and concerns about unsatisfactory procedural and clinical outcomes after TAVI. With the improvement of the design of the new generations devices, with the growing technical experience of the teams and the progress in the imaging techniques, better results and fewer complications are observed, which could be a prerequisite for expanding the indications for TAVI in patients with BAV. This review presents TAVI treatment options for patients with BAV, the results of available registers in terms of safety and effi cacy of the procedure, and future perspectives.
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.
