Meta AnalysisTranscatheter aortic valve replacement versus surgical aortic valve replacement in low-surgical-risk patients: An updated meta-analysis.
The purpose of this meta-analysis is to compare the safety and efficacy of transcatheter aortic-valve replacement (TAVR) to surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) in low-surgical-risk patients. ⋯ The results of our meta-analysis demonstrate similar rates of all-cause mortality, cardiac mortality, and stroke at 1-year follow-up in patients undergoing TAVR and SAVR. TAVR is associated with a lower incidence of AF relative to SAVR. However, there was a significantly higher incidence of PVL with TAVR compared to SAVR.

Multicenter Study Observational StudyThe impact of chronic kidney disease in women undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement: Analysis from the Women's INternational Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (WIN-TAVI) registry.
The prevalence of both chronic kidney disease (CKD) and aortic stenosis (AS) increase with age. Although baseline CKD is frequent in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), its significance among women is largely unknown. ⋯ CKD is associated with substantial and independent risk for mortality and morbidity at 1-year follow-up in women undergoing TAVR.

Case ReportsTranscatheter aortic valve implantation 10 years after valve-in-valve transcatheter aortic valve implantation for failing aortic valve homograft root replacement.
Valve-in-valve transcatheter aortic valve implantation (ViV-TAVI) is an established therapy for a degenerated surgical bioprosthesis. TAVI-in-TAVI following ViV-TAVI has not been previously performed. We report a high-risk patient presenting with severe left ventricular failure secondary to undiagnosed critical aortic stenosis due to degeneration of the implanted transcatheter heart valve more than a decade after initial ViV-TAVI for a failing stentless aortic valve homograft. Successful TAVI-in-TAVI reversed the clinical and echocardiographic changes of decompensated heart failure with no evidence of coronary obstruction.
