Impact of Transcatheter Aortic Valve Durability on Life Expectancy in Low-Risk Patients With Severe Aortic Stenosis.

TLDR
According to simulation models, the durability of TAVR valves must be 70% shorter than that of surgical valves to result in reduced life expectancy in patients with demographics similar to those of recent trials, but in younger low-risk patients, valve durability must be weighed against other patient factors such as life expectancy.
Abstract
Background: Recent clinical trial results showed that transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is noninferior and may be superior to surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) for mortality, str...

Abstract 19391: Early Structural Valve Deterioration of Mitroflow Aortic Bioprosthesis : Mode, Incidence and Impact on Outcome in a Large Cohort of Patients

TL;DR: In this article, the authors assess the incidence, the mode and the impact of structural valve deterioration on outcome in a large series of Mitroflow aortic valve replacement (AVR) patients.

A biomimetic multilayered polymeric material designed for heart valve repair and replacement.

TL;DR: In this paper , a biomimetic multilayered material (BMM) was designed to replicate the native valve leaflets, which exhibited an anisotropic behavior and a closer mechanical performance to the aortic leaflets.

Balance diagnostics for comparing the distribution of baseline covariates between treatment groups in propensity-score matched samples

TL;DR: Methods to determine the sampling distribution of the standardized difference when the true standardized difference is equal to zero are described, thereby allowing one to determined the range of standardized differences that are plausible with the propensity score model having been correctly specified.
