Reoperative ''valve-in-valve'' transapical transcatheter mitral valve replacement in a high-risk patient with a recent transapical transcatheter aortic valve replacement and a degenerated bioprosthetic mitral valve

Transapical transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAAVR) can safely be performed in high-risk patients who are not candidates for conventional replacement. However, using the transapical transcatheter (TA) approach as a reoperative strategy in patients who have undergone previous TA valve surgery has not been well described. We therefore report the first known case of a patient who recently underwent TA-AVR and subsequently developed severe prosthetic mitral regurgitation that was managed with a ‘‘valve-invalve’’ TA mitral valve (MV) replacement.

IN-HOSPITAL CLINICAL OUTCOMES FOLLOWING CONCOMITANT CORONARY ARTERY BYPASS GRAFT AND HEART VALVE SURGERY IN WOMEN

Background: In-hospital clinical outcomes following concomitant coronary artery bypass graft [CABG] with heart valve surgery [HVS] is not well characterized. We sought to delineate the in-hospital outcomes in female patients [FP] following such complex surgery.nnMethod: All patients [pts] who had

THE INFLUENCE OF GENDER ON IN-HOSPITAL CLINICAL OUTCOMES IN HISPANICS FOLLOWING SURGICAL AND TRANSCATHETER AORTIC VALVE REPLACEMENT

Background: Despite being the largest minority group, reports on the clinical outcomes in Hispanics undergoing either surgical [SAVR] or transcatheter aortic valve replacement [TAVR] is lacking.nnMethod: Using the 2011-2013 National Inpatient Sample [NIS] data, we compared the in-hospital adverse

DISPARITIES IN REVASCULARIZATION FOR ST-ELEVATION MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION PERSIST FOR PATIENTS WITH SEVERE MENTAL ILLNESS

Prior research has shown that patients with severe mental illness (SMI = bipolar disorder and/or schizophrenia) are less likely to receive revascularization in the setting of ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). It is unknown whether this disparity has persisted over time.nnWe conducted a

OUTCOMES IN PATIENTS UNDERGOING CORONARY ARTERY BYPASS GRAFTING BASED ON HOSPITAL VOLUME, 2007-2011

The volume of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) procedures has been declining. Studies suggest an increased risk of adverse events in patients undergoing CABG at low volume centers; this has yet to be evaluated in a contemporary national registry.nnWe analyzed all patients who had CABG from

ETIOLOGY AND DOWNSTREAM HEMODYNAMIC IMPACT OF PULMONARY HYPERTENSION IN PATIENTS UNDERGOING TRANSCATHETER AORTIC VALVE REPLACEMENT

Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is common among pts with pulmonary disease and aortic stenosis undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). The prevalence of pre- and postcapillary PH among TAVR pts and its impact upon hemodynamics are unknown.nnWe compared changes in invasively determined
