Aim. To demonstrate the TAVISCORE program designed to stratify the risk of complications after aortic valve (AV) interventions in patients with reduced ejection fraction.Material and methods. For the period from 2015-2022 at the Almazov Federal North-West Medical Research Center, 128 interventions on AV were performed for aortic stenosis in patients with reduced ejection fraction as follows: 61 — surgical AV replacement (SAVR), 67 — transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). To create an interactive calculator TAVISCORE (link for free download: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1a3s2MK6Tpk0cIQ_aMB7xe63upEwJsJOh/view?usp=sharing) all patients were combined into one group. For each factor present in the patient, the prognostic coefficient, its contribution to the likelihood of an event in the long-term follow-up period (death, myocardial infarction, stroke), was calculated. The next step, based on the calculations obtained and using the Python 3.10.6 language, was the creation of the TAVISCORE program.Results. The TAVISCORE was created for the personalized choice of tactics for the treatment of patients with aortic stenosis. It contains 54 risk factors and makes it possible to determine probability of cardiac or non-cardiac events in the long-term follow-up period after SAVR and TAVI. Thus, a tactic with lower probability of a complication can be chosen as optimal in this particular case. Retrospective use of the TAVISCORE after surgery can identify patients at high risk of complications, which will allow them to be selected for more thorough management and more frequent screening.Conclusion. The TAVISCORE can be used by a multidisciplinary consensus to select the treatment tactics and stratify the risk of complications after different AV replacement variants in patients with a reduced ejection fraction. Further prospective testing of this program is required.

Calcification of the lower extremities arteries is an unfavorable factor for vascular surgery. Extensive lesions of the femoral segment are an indication for femoropopliteal bypass surgery. Calcification of the femoral arteries complicates the construction of a proximal anastomosis because it precludes clamping the arteries. In addition to technical difficulties in the construction of an anastomosis, significant calcification increases the risks of bleeding and embolic complications and the duration of surgery. In cases of total calcification of the femoral and iliac arteries, balloon occlusion during the construction of an anastomosis makes it possible to occlude the arteries without clamping, which reduces the risks of perioperative complications. We report a case of femoropopliteal bypass surgery in a patient with total calcification of the iliofemoral segment and occlusion of the superficial femoral artery.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
