A recent study published in the Texas Heart Institute Journal explores the effects of bioprosthetic valve fracturing on valve-in-valve transcatheter aortic valve implantation transvalvular gradients. The research suggests that bioprosthetic valve fracture may be a viable option for reducing residual transvalvular gradients after ViV-TAVI, particularly in patients with elevated gradients or concerns about patient-prosthesis mismatch. The study analyzed patients who underwent ViV-TAVI bioprosthetic valve fracture and found significant reductions in transvalvular gradients post-fracturing. Researchers recommend considering this approach for patients who are not suitable candidates for redo sternotomy and surgical aortic valve replacement. [Extracted from the article] |
