Transcatheter aortic valve implantation amid the COVID-19 pandemic: a  nationwide analysis of the first COVID-19 wave in the Netherlands
CONCLUSIONS: During the COVID-19 pandemic, patient characteristics and outcomes after TAVI were not different than before the pandemic. This highlights the fact that TAVI procedures can be safely performed during the COVID-19 pandemic, without an increased risk of complications or mortality.PMID:35648264 | PMC:PMC9158307 | DOI:10.1007/s12471-022-01704-9

Po-639-03 3d mapping facilitated, intra-cardiac echocardiography (ice) guided left atrial appendage occlusion (laao) is feasible and safe, providing similar efficacy with less personnel than transesophageal echocardiography (tee) guided procedures
Left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) provides an alternative for stroke prevention in patients with atrial fibrillation who cannot be safely anticoagulated long-term. WATCHMAN FLX placement was described, and is traditionally performed, with transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) guidance under general anesthesia (GA). The implanting physician, echocardiography team, and anesthesia team must all be present, complicating coordination and scheduling. The use of intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) with 3D mapping guidance in place of TEE for LAAO procedures can eliminate the need for additional personnel.

Mortality Reduction After a Preincision Safety Check Before Cardiac Surgery: Is It the Aorta?
CONCLUSIONS: The adaptation of aortic surgical handling after a preincision safety check was necessary for 5.9% of cardiac surgeries, with extracardiac atherosclerosis as the strongest predictor. Outcome was not significantly different between patients with and without adaptation. Although promising, it remains unclear whether adaptation may fully explain mortality reduction after the use of a preincision safety check.PMID:35288024 | DOI:10.1053/j.jvca.2022.01.047

Changes in demographics, treatment and outcomes in a  consecutive cohort who underwent transcatheter aortic valve implantation between 2005 and 2020
CONCLUSION: Over our 15 years' experience, patient age remained unchanged but the patient risk profile became more favourable. Simplification of the TAVI procedure occurred in parallel with major improvement in outcomes and survival. Bleeding/vascular complications and the need for pacemaker implantation remain the Achilles' heel of TAVI.PMID:35212972 | DOI:10.1007/s12471-022-01662-2

Initial practice of left atrial appendage closure device in Japan; single-center experience
CONCLUSIONS: In this initial Japanese experience, LAAC therapy for high bleeding risk patients with NVAF seems feasible. Optimal antithrombotic regimens are warranted for better clinical outcomes.PMID:35094892 | DOI:10.1016/j.jjcc.2022.01.004
