Transubclavian approach: A competitive access for transcatheter aortic valve implantation as compared to transfemoral
ConclusionsOur study suggests that TSc approach may be, not only an alternative route to TF approach for TAVI, but even a competitive one in certain patients with increased risk of femoral injury.

Effect of aorto ‐ventricular angulation on procedural success in transcatheter aortic valve replacements with the Lotus Valve system
ConclusionAA did not affect device success or clinical outcome with the Lotus Valve system. The Lotus' unique design features may have mitigated the impact of AA by improving the accuracy, ease of valve positioning, and reducing PVR.

Impact of pre ‐existing or new‐onset atrial fibrillation on 30‐day clinical outcomes following Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement: Results From The BRAVO 3 Randomized Trial
Conclusions: Prior or new‐onset AF within 30 days of transfemoral TAVR is noted in more than one‐third of patients. Despite greater baseline comorbidities than non‐AF patients, AF was not associated with greater risk of adjusted 30‐day outcomes. In the BRAVO 3 trial, early outcomes were similar regardless of anticoagulant strategy in each group. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Thrombotic valvular dysfunction with transcatheter mitral interventions for postsurgical failures
ConclusionThrombotic related dysfunction post‐TMVR occurred in 15% (2/13) of patients and one patient had abnormal leaflet thickening that may have been thrombus related. Dual‐antiplatelet therapy was used in all 3 cases suggesting the possible need for oral anticoagulation postmitral valve‐in‐valve therapy. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Procedural and 30 ‐day clinical outcomes following transcatheter aortic valve replacement with lotus valve: Results of the RELEVANT study
ConclusionsRELEVANT study showed that TAVR using Lotus, in a real‐world population of patients with severe aortic stenosis at high surgical risk, was associated with excellent device success implantation and early safety according to VARC‐2 definition. The pacemaker implantation rate was about a third of patients. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Prospective comparison between three TAVR devices: ACURATE neo vs. CoreValve vs. SAPIEN XT. A single heart team experience in patients with severe aortic stenosis
ConclusionsIn a “real world” registry, ACT compared favorably against the well‐studied SXT and MCV devices in both safety and efficacy. MCV implantation was associated with lower device success rates and higher rates of new permanent pacemaker implantation. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Trans‐subclavian versus transapical access for transcatheter aortic valve implantation: A multicenter study

Outcomes and predictors of mortality after transcatheter aortic valve implantation: Results of the Brazilian registry
Conclusion: This multicenter registry reflected a real‐life national TAVI experience. Comorbidities, periprocedural complications and moderate/severe PVR were associated with increased mortality and the use of TEE to monitor the procedure acted as a protective factor.
