Mashup Score: 5
The optimal antithrombotic therapy after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is controversial. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials comparing high-intensity vs. low-intensity antithrombotic therapy after TAVR in the absence of an established indication for anticoagulation.

Mashup Score: 5
Secondary mitral regurgitation (MR) refers to MR resulting from left ventricular or left atrial remodeling. In ischemic or nonischemic cardiomyopathy, left ventricular dilation (regional or global) leads to papillary muscle displacement, tethering, and leaflet malcoaptation. In atrial functional MR, MR occurs in patients with left atrial dilation and altered mitral annular geometry due to atrial…

Mashup Score: 9
Coaptation length (CL) after surgical mitral valve repair (MVr) has been considered an independent predictor of recurrent mitral regurgitation (MR) in patients with functional MR1 (Figure 1a and b). However, its role in degenerative MR has not been fully explored, and there is a scarcity of studies addressing this issue.

Mashup Score: 1Clinical Predictors of Mortality and Heart Failure Hospitalization in Patients With Severe Tricuspid Regurgitation - 1 year(s) ago
There is an incomplete understanding of the predictors of morbidity and mortality in patients with severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR). This study sought to identify key risk factors for all-cause mortality and heart failure (HF) hospitalization among patients with severe TR.

Mashup Score: 3The Natural History of Bicuspid Aortic Valve Disease - 1 year(s) ago
The bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is the most common congenital heart defect with an estimated prevalence of between 0.5% and 2% in the United States, representing up to 6.5 million individuals. Most individuals with BAV will develop valvular and/or aortic complications related to their BAV. How these various complications relate to one another and why they arise remain elusive. Yet, astute…

Aortic valve calcification correlates with the severity of aortic valve stenosis and a high calcium score is associated with conduction disturbances and paravalvular leakage after transcatheter aortic valve replacement. The 3mensio Structural Heart is a semiautomated software package to facilitate aortic root analysis by multislice computed tomography.The aim of the contemporary study is to…

Mashup Score: 0Percutaneous Transcatheter Edge-to-Edge Mitral Valve Repair With MitraClip System in the Era of G4 - 1 year(s) ago
The use of transcatheter edge-to-edge mitral valve repair (TEER) in symptomatic patients with severe mitral regurgitation (MR) has dramatically increased over the last few years. Current guidelines consider TEER as a reasonable option in symptomatic patients with primary or chronic secondary severe MR with high or prohibitive surgical risk and favorable anatomy. However, several anatomical and…

Mashup Score: 0Strategies for Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement in Patients With a Right Aortic Arch - 1 year(s) ago
Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has evolved into a well-established minimally invasive option for patients with severe symptomatic aortic stenosis. As the range of patients undergoing TAVR continues to expand, atypical anatomy such as congenital right aortic arch (RAA) may present a potential barrier to achieving consistently excellent outcomes. Here, we illustrate our strategy for…
