Authors report the first successful use of the UNICORN technique for #TAVR in a native BAV with high risk for coronary obstruction. Careful CT planning was key to procedural success. Get the details in #JACCINT: jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.jcin.…

BATMAN was associated with high technical success and effectiveness in preventing #LVOT obstruction and appeared to be safe in ViR and ViV procedures. Adverse events were higher in ViMAC. jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.jcin.… #JACCINT #TMVR

This bench study defines optimal balloon sizing for UNICORN across common #THV platforms and confirms coronary clearance. It was determined that one index valve resisted intraleaflet deployment. Further clinical validation is required jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.jcin.… #JACCINT #TAVR

UNICORN during #TAVR was successful in preventing coronary obstruction. Intraprocedural hypotension requiring vasopressor support was frequent. UNICORN should be considered in cases in which lower risk options are unlikely to be successful. jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.jcin.… #JACCINT

1/8 🚨 The results of CLOSURE-AF are in, providing a sobering look at Left Atrial Appendage Closure (LAAC). This was the first trial to test the device against modern DOAC therapy in the high-risk patients seen in daily practice. The verdict: LAAC failed to meet non-inferiority

6 yrs after surgery or #TAVR with CoreValve/Evolut, low-risk AS pts showed no difference in all-cause mortality or disabling #stroke in the Evolut Low-Risk trial. However, reinterventions were higher after TAVR, largely driven by increased AR. jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.jacc.… #JACC

JUST OUT #JACCINT @JACCJournals ! Our Redo #TAVR concept and planning simplified. Coronary Risk Zone (CRZ) denotes the zone that you MUST measure the valve to coronary/aorta/STJ distance to assess coronary obstruction risk. The minimal distance is what matter most. Great work by @OleDeBacker @bapat_savrtavr @Miho_Fukui_ @SyedZaid to help move this field forward! jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.jcin.…

Bicuspid is no longer a niche. In this SOTA, @didier_tchetche et al walk through TAVI in BAV: phenotypes, CT sizing (BAVARD, circle, CASPER), procedural tricks, long-term concerns and the need for TAVI vs SAVR RCTs.
