In this multicenter registry of 10,872 patients undergoing TAVI, baseline ejection fraction was ≤30% in 914 (8.4%) patients. Of them, the left ventricle recovered in 59.5%, including 26.7% patients whose left ventricle function normalized completely.
No recovery was associated with a significant increase in 3-year mortality (adjusted hazard ratio 1.32; p<0.001).
Three variables were associated with a higher likelihood of left ventricle recovery following TAVI: no previous myocardial infarction, estimated glomerular filtration rate >60 mL/min, and mean aortic valve gradient >40 mmHg before TAVI.
Teams caring for patients with severe aortic stenosis and severe left ventricle dysfunction should assess the likelihood of left ventricle recovery following TAVI. This information and its prognostic implications should be discussed with the patients.

We're proud to announce that Cleveland Clinic Indian River Hospital has been recognized by @ACCinTouch for Cardiac Cath Lab Accreditation, Electrophysiology Accreditation, and Transcatheter Valve Certification. Learn more: https://t.co/yOUvcBLuxu https://t.co/yOUvcBLuxu
The @ABIMFoundation now lists those who have paid for, taken, & passed the certification exam as "not certified" if they don't pay the MOC fee(s).
Anyone find this defensible?
Real life example of a good commissural alignment, CTA showed excellent alignment that was confirmed with easy coronary access during cath. Thank you @GilbertTangMD for teaching us it was possible. @CCIndianRiver@TAVRBot@MDT_Cardiac@PopmaJeffrey
@adnanalkhouli iFR? No angina but maybe angina equivalent ? Guess the patient has symptomatic AS, can you be 100% all the symptoms are from AS or 0% from CAD. Conclusion we know so little …..
@DrJayMohan@w_jyg @csi360 It works just like the single op Rota technique, in the video I am walking out the device, with my left hand I am pulling out the device and with my right I am pushing the wire, all in small bites with the device in GlideAssist.
Another great milestone for the @CCIndianRiver HVTI, our team completed 100 LAAOs procedure. Thank you to all team members for all your efforts to make our program very successful! @CleveClinicFL@CleClinicHVTI@MistyBlueMD
