Outcomes of emergent cardiac surgery after transcatheter aortic valve implantation
CONCLUSION: ECS following complicated TAVI was performed in only a small number of cases. It had a high but acceptable perioperative and 30-day mortality, taking into account the otherwise lethal consequences. In case of valve embolisation, no periprocedural or 30-day mortality was observed for surgical aortic valve replacement (even in a redo setting), which supported the necessity to perform TAVI in centres with cardiac surgical backup on site.PMID:37917382 | DOI:10.1007/s12471-023-01820-0 (Source: Netherlands Heart Journal)

Cardiac output, cerebral blood flow and cognition in patients with severe aortic valve stenosis undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation: design and rationale of the CAPITA study
CONCLUSION : The CAPITA study is the first study designed to systematically assess positive and negative cerebral and cognitive outcomes after TAVI. We hypothesise that TAVI improves cardiac output, CBF and cognitive functioning.PMID:37910335 | DOI:10.1007/s12471-023-01826-8 (Source: Netherlands Heart Journal)

Percutaneous coronary intervention in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation: a  systematic review and meta-analysis
CONCLUSION: This systematic review and meta-analysis showed no significant differences in clinical outcomes between patients with concomitant significant CAD who were treated with TAVI with and without preceding PCI at both short- and long-term follow-up. However, there was a higher risk of major bleeding at 30 days in patients undergoing TAVI with preceding PCI. In the context of serious risk of bias in the included studies, results of randomised controlled trials are warranted.PMID:37910336 | DOI:10.1007/s12471-023-01824-w (Source: Netherlands Heart Journal)

Routine transthoracic echocardiography in ischaemic stroke or transient ischaemic attack of undetermined cause: a  prospective multicentre study
CONCLUSIONS: This multicentre cross-sectional study in patients who-after workup on contemporary stroke units-were diagnosed with ischaemic stroke or transient ischaemic attack of undetermined cause found TTE-detected major CSE in only 1% of all patients. Most of these patients also had major ECG abnormalities. These findings question the value of routine TTE assessment in this clinical setting.PMID:37870709 | DOI:10.1007/s12471-023-01819-7 (Source: Netherlands Heart Journal)

Impact of implementing Dutch versus European guideline risk factor targets in older patients with ischaemic heart disease
CONCLUSION: In patients aged > 70 years with IHD, implementation of European targets resulted in a greater gain of event-free years compared with Dutch targets, especially in patients with poorer risk factor control. The considerable number of patients with missing risk factor documentation suggested additional opportunities for risk reduction.PMID:37870710 | DOI:10.1007/s12471-023-01823-x (Source: Netherlands Heart Journal)
