Outcomes of Planned 2-Stage Hybrid Aortic Repair with Dacron Replaced Proximal Landing Zone.
CONCLUSIONS: Planned 2-stage HAR with open 1st stage PAR followed by 2nd stage TEVAR with Dacron replaced PLZ yields excellent short and long-term results, including low rates of re-intervention likely due to long-segment PLZ within Dacron-replaced aorta. The technique should be considered in patients with even mild (>4.0 cm) ascending aortic dilation in whom HAR is otherwise the preferred treatment option.

Hemiarch Reconstruction Vs Clamped Aortic Anastomosis for Concomitant Ascending Aortic Aneurysm
Conclusions Hemiarch replacement using DHCA with RCP does not increase the risk of operative complications compared to a normothermic, clamped-distal aortic anastomosis, and therefore its use should not be limited when planning complex multi-procedural reconstructions during elective ascending thoracic aortic replacement with concomitant cardiac surgery.

Transcatheter Versus Surgical Aortic Valve Replacement in Patients With Prior Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting: Trends in Utilization and Propensity-Matched Analysis of In-Hospital Outcomes Structural Heart Disease
Conclusions— TAVR is being increasingly used as the preferred modality of AVR in patients with prior CABG. Compared with SAVR, TAVR is associated with similar in-hospital mortality but lower rates of in-hospital complications in this important subset of patients.

Comparison of Outcomes of Transcatheter Versus Surgical Aortic Valve Replacement in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease
There are few data comparing outcomes of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) vs. surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). In this retrospective cohort study using the National Inpatient Sample 2011 – 2014, we included a total of 2820 TAVI and 4054 SAVR procedures, representative of 14,039 TAVI and 19,835 SAVR procedures nationally. Co-primary outcomes were in-hospital mortality, acute kidney injury (AKI), dialysis-requiring AKI, and post-operative stroke.

Association of Chronic Kidney Disease With In-Hospital Outcomes of Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement
Conclusions Patients with CKD or ESRD have worse in-hospital outcomes after TAVR. AKI is associated with higher in-hospital mortality in patients undergoing TAVR and the incidence of AKI has not declined over the years.

Transcatheter or surgical aortic valve replacement in patients with advanced kidney disease: A propensity score –matched analysis
ConclusionsIn patients with advanced kidney disease, SAVR was associated with higher mortality and higher periprocedural complications, as compared with TAVR. Thus, benefits of TAVR could be extended in patients with advanced kidney disease who cannot undergo surgery.

Comparative outcomes of transcatheter aortic valve replacement in African American and Caucasian patients with severe aortic stenosis
ConclusionsThere was no significant difference in the utilization rates, in‐hospital outcomes, and cost of TAVR between Caucasians and AA patients in contemporary US practice. Further comparative studies of surgical and TAVR in AAs and other racial minorities are warranted.

Impact of right and left ventricular systolic dysfunction on perioperative outcome and long ‐term survival after transcatheter aortic valve replacement
ConclusionsPeri‐operative mortality and risk of stroke after TAVR are not adversely affected by preexisting RV or LV dysfunction. Long‐term survival is impaired in patients with RVSD. RVSD but not LVSD is an independent risk factor for late mortality. TAVR should be the preferred therapy for patients with RVSD and LVSD, especially when patient is suitable for TF.

Abstract 016: Endovascular Management of Major Vascular Access Site Complications During Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI). Session Title: Poster Session I
Conclusion: Many patients with major vascular complications during TAVI can be treated with a pure endovascular approach. In our small series we observed no difference in concurrent complications when an endovascular repair can be rapidly initiated as compared to a primary surgical approach.

How Good is EPS at Predicting the Future After TAVR?
Permanent pacemaker (PPM) implantation continues to be a significant complication of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), occurring in approximately 12% of patients [1]. While device enhancements of new TAVR valves, better patient selection and operator experience have led to a decrease in paravalvular regurgitation, vascular injury, stroke, and new dialysis requirement, pacemaker implantation appears to be the only complication that is increasing in frequency [1]. As TAVR expands to patients with lower risk, the long-term consequences of pacemaker implantation will likely be amplified.

End ‐stage renal disease and severe aortic stenosis: Does valve replacement improve one‐year outcomes?
ConclusionsPatients with ESRD and severe AS have a similar and higher survival with TAVR or SAVR when compared to BAV at 1‐year. These results may influence patient care decisions favoring valve replacement in AS patients with ESRD. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
