Comparison of Carbohydrate Antigen 125 and N-Terminal Pro-Brain Natriuretic Peptide for Risk Prediction After Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation
2017
Elevated carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA125) and N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NTproBNP) have been associated with adverse outcome after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). This study performs a comparison of both biomarkers for prognosis after TAVI. The study includes 363 patients. The primary end point was all-cause death or readmission for worsening congestive heart failure within 1 year after TAVI, and this end point occurred in 16% of the population. The optimal cutoff to predict the primary end point was 18.4 U/ml for CA125 and 2,570 ng/L for NTproBNP. Elevated CA125 levels were present in 52% and were associated with a higher rate of the primary end point (27% vs…
Prognostic value of the ratio between prothesis area and indexed annulus area measured by multiSlice-CT for transcatheter aortic valve implantation p…

Background Postprocedural aortic regurgitations following transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) procedures remain an is- sue. Benefit of oversizing strategies to prevent them isn’t well established. We compared different level of oversizing in our cohort of con- secutive patients to address if severe oversizing compared to normal sizing had an impact on post-procedural outcomes. Methods From January 2010 to August 2013, consecutive patients were referred for TAVI with preoperative Multislice-CT (MSCT) and the procedures were achieved using Edwards Sapien® or Corevalve devices®. Retrospectively, according to pre-procedural MSCT and the valve size, pa- tients were classified into thr…
Feasibility of transcatheter aortic valve implantation in patients with coronary heights ≤7 mm: insights from the transcatheter aortic valve implanta…
2018
OBJECTIVES Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) in patients with low coronary heights is generally denied but is not impossible. Information about these high-risk procedures is sparse. METHODS Since May 2008, data of more than 3000 patients who had TAVI were prospectively collected in the institutional TAVI Karlsruhe registry. Characteristics, peri- and postoperative outcome of patients with low coronary heights of ≤7 mm were analysed according to the Valve Academic Research Consortium-2. RESULTS Eighty-six patients with an average coronary height of 6.4 ± 1.1 mm (mean age 81.0 ± 5.3 years, logistic EuroSCORE I 19.6 ± 13.3%) were treated. TAVI was performed in 72 transfemoral (83.…
TCT-43 First-in-human experience of a novel transradial device for embolic deflection during transcatheter aortic valve replacement
2018
The average stroke rate in contemporary transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) studies is 4.4%. The majority of the TAVR studies are non-randomized registries, hence, neurological outcomes may be underreported. Over 50% of all TAVR related strokes occur during the procedure or on the same day

Aortic valve and vascular calcium score in pre-TAVI CT: correlation with early post-procedural complications
2023
Abstract Purpose The aim of our study was to evaluate the prevalence of early complications after Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) and their correlation with the Calcium Score (CS) of the aortic valve, aorta and ilio-femoral arteries derived from pre-procedural computed tomography (CT). Materials and methods We retrospectively reviewed 226 patients (100 males, mean age 79.4 ± 6.7 years) undergoing 64-slice CT for pre-TAVI evaluation from January 2018 to April 2021. The population was divided into CS quartiles. Results Overall, 173 patients underwent TAVI procedure, of whom 61% presented paravalvular leak after the procedure, 28% presented bleeding or vascular complications, 25…
On the Modeling of Transcatheter Therapies for the Aortic and Mitral Valves: A Review
2022
Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has become a milestone for the management of aortic stenosis in a growing number of patients who are unfavorable candidates for surgery. With the new generation of transcatheter heart valves (THV), the feasibility of transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR) for degenerated mitral bioprostheses and failed annuloplasty rings has been demonstrated. In this setting, computational simulations are modernizing the preoperative planning of transcatheter heart valve interventions by predicting the outcome of the bioprosthesis interaction with the human host in a patient-specific fashion. However, computational modeling needs to carry out increasingl…
TCT-34 Prediction of acute kidney injury after TAVR by new biomarkers
2017
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Routinely used biomarkers such as creatinine show a diagnostic gap in the first hours after kidney injury. Thus, new biomarkers for earlier
