Left and right ventricular functional changes after transapical, transfemoral, transcatheter, or surgical aortic valve replacement: A single-center observational study
Abstract:Background: Decreasing right ventricular (RV) and left
ventricular (LV) function after surgical or transcatheter aortic valve
replacement (SAVR or TAVR, respectively) is an important risk factor for
morbidity and mortality. Although transapical (TA)-TAVR is an
independent risk factor for post-procedural mortality, limited knowledge
is available regarding long-term changes in RV and LV function. The
study aimed to evaluate LV and RV performance following four different
AVR procedures, including TA-, transfemora… Show more
