Delirium After TAVR: Crosspassing the Limit of Resilience
Review Article | By Kvan der Wulp , MH van Wely , MJP Rooijakkers et al.
Patients who undergo transcatheter aortic valve replacement often are frail and elderly. Delirium is a frequently observed complication, associated with impaired recovery, prolonged hospital stay, and mortality. In different hospital settings, interventions that reduced the incidence of delirium resulted in improved clinical outcome and reduced costs. In that context, prevention, early recognition, and timely interventions could be the next step to...

OBJECTIVES - The aim of this study was to assess 1-year clinical outcomes among high-risk patients with failed surgical mitral bioprostheses who underwent transseptal mitral valve-in-valve (MViV) with the SAPIEN 3 aortic transcatheter heart valve (THV) in the MITRAL (Mitral Implantation of Transcatheter Valves) trial. BACKGROUND - The MITRAL trial is the first prospective study evaluati...

OBJECTIVES - The aim of this study was to assess mitral valve (MV) remodeling and strain in patients with secondary mitral regurgitation (SMR) compared with primary MR (PMR) and normal valves. BACKGROUND - A paucity of data exists on MV strain during the cardiac cycle in humans. Real-time 3-dimensional (3D) echocardiography allows for dynamic MV imaging, enabling computerized m...

BACKGROUND - Sudden cardiac arrest is a serious complication of acute myocardial infarction (MI). Although in-hospital mortality from MI has decreased, the mortality of MI patients complicated with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) remains high. However, the features of acute MI patients with OHCA have not been well known. OBJECTIVES - We sought to characterize the clinical and angiographic ...
