RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Valve-in-valve (VIV) transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is a less invasive therapeutic option compared with redo surgical valve replacement for high-risk patients. Relative to procedures within stented surgical valves, VIV-TAVI within stentless valves is associated with a higher complication rate due to challenging underlying anatomy and absence of fluoroscopic landmarks. AIMS: We share a single-center experience with VIV-TAVI in stentless valves, discussing our procedural insights and associated outcomes. METHODS: Our institutional database was queried, and 25 patients who had undergone VIV-TAVI within a stentless bioprosthesis, homograft, or valve-sparing aortic root replacement between 2013 and 2022 were found. Outcome endpoints were based on the Valve Academic Research Consortium-3 criteria. RESULTS: The mean age of the cohort was 69.5 ± 13.6 years. VIV implantation was performed within a homograft in 11 patients, a stentless bioprothesis in 10 patients, and a valve-sparing aortic root replacement in 4 patients. Nineteen (76%) balloon-expandable valves, 5 (20%) self-expanding valves, and one mechanically-expandable (4%) valve were implanted with 100% procedural success, with no instances of significant paravalvular leak, coronary occlusion, or device embolization. There was one (4%) in-hospitality mortality after an emergency procedure; one (4%) patient experienced a transient ischemic attack; and two (8%) patients required permanent pacemaker implantation. The median length of hospital stay was 2 days. After a median follow-up time of 16.5 months, valve function was acceptable in all patients with available data. CONCLUSION: VIV-TAVI within stentless valves can be safely performed with methodical procedural technique and can provide clinical benefit in patients at high reoperation risk.

Surgical and catheter-based cardiovascular procedures and adjunctive pharmacology have an inherent risk of neurological complications. The current diversity of neurological endpoint definitions and ascertainment methods in clinical trials has led to uncertainties in the neurological risk attributable to cardiovascular procedures and inconsistent evaluation of therapies intended to prevent or mitigate neurological injury. Benefit-risk assessment of such procedures should be on the basis of an evaluation of well-defined neurological outcomes that are ascertained with consistent methods and capture the full spectrum of neurovascular injury and its clinical effect. The Neurologic Academic Research Consortium is an international collaboration intended to establish consensus on the definition, classification, and assessment of neurological endpoints applicable to clinical trials of a broad range of cardiovascular interventions. Systematic application of the proposed definitions and assessments will improve our ability to evaluate the risks of cardiovascular procedures and the safety and effectiveness of preventive therapies.

BACKGROUND: Lesion length has been an important factor in predicting a worse outcome after percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI); however, the safety and efficacy of second-generation drug eluting stents in very long coronary lesions has not been validated in large scale randomized controlled trials. METHODS: We performed a patient level pooled analysis of 13,266 patients undergoing planned overlapping stent treatment of very long coronary lesions with the XIENCE V everolimus eluting coronary stent system from 6 trials evaluating the XIENCE V stent (Spirit II, III, IV, V, Spirit Small Vessel and XIENCE V USA). Patients were divided into two cohorts, a very long lesion (VLL) group (lesions ≥35 mm) and a control group (lesions >24 to <35 mm). The primary outcome measures were Target Lesion Failure (TLF), Major Adverse Cardiac Events (MACE), and Academic Research Consortium (ARC) defined definite and probable stent thrombosis at 1 year. RESULTS: A total of 13,266 patients were included in the pooled analysis of which 2.4% (323 patients with 328 total lesions) had a mean lesion length of 47.1 ± 13.7 mm in the VLL group which were compared to controls comprised of 3.6% of the cohort (482 patients with 500 total lesions) with mean lesion length of 28.1 ± 2.4 mm.There was no significant difference in the rates of TLF between the VVL and control groups (8.9 vs. 10%, P = 0.63), MACE (9.2 vs. 10%, P = 0.74) or stent thrombosis (1.6 vs. 1.5%, P = 0.92) at 1 year. CONCLUSIONS: In the treatment of very long coronary lesions, the XIENCE V stent appears as safe and effective as percutaneous coronary interventions for long lesions. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

OBJECTIVE: We evaluated the ability of post-procedural myocardial blush grade (MBG) to stratify outcomes of patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for non-ST segment elevation acute coronary syndromes (NSTE-ACS). BACKGROUND: MBG strongly correlates with survival after reperfusion therapy in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). METHODS: Of 13,819 NSTE-ACS patients randomized in the ACUITY trial, 3,115 patients underwent PCI and had MBG analyzed by an independent angiographic core laboratory. We examined net adverse clinical events (NACE; composite ischemia or bleeding), composite ischemia (death, MI or ischemia-driven revascularization) and non-CABG major bleeding according to final MBG. RESULTS: At 30 days, patients with MBG-0/1 had higher rates of NACE (25.1% vs. 13.9%, P = 0.002) and composite ischemia (19.1% vs. 9.4%, P = 0.002) than patients with MBG-2/3. At 1-year follow-up, MBG-0/1 patients had significantly higher rates of composite ischemia compared to other patients (27.8% vs. 19.8%, P = 0.02). By multivariable analysis, MBG-0/1 was an independent predictor of 30-day ischemia-driven revascularization (OR 5.74 [2.63, 12.54], P < 0.0001) in the total population and among patients with normal post-PCI epicardial TIMI-3 flow (OR 6.39 [2.06, 19.78], P = 0.001). However, 1-year outcomes were similar between patients with and without normal myocardial perfusion. CONCLUSIONS: In conclusion, MBG is a predictor of 30-day revascularization in the overall population and in patients with normal epicardial flow but fails to stratify 1-year outcomes. Thus, unlike in STEMI patients, the prognostic value of MBG in NSTE-ACS patients appears to be limited to the short-term. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

BACKGROUND: Despite advancements from balloon angioplasty to drug-eluting stents, primary patency rates after endovascular revascularization of peripheral artery disease have remained inferior compared to surgery. Endovascular revascularization has been limited by restenosis and mechanical stent failure. Thus, there is increased research into other nonstent-based local drug delivery modalities, which can provide an active drug to inhibit restenosis focally and avoid the risk of systemic adverse effects. METHODS: This review will summarize the unique properties of paclitaxel and studies on paclitaxel local delivery for the treatment of peripheral artery disease. A MEDLINE search for relevant peer-reviewed scientific literature published in English was conducted. Search terms included but were not limited to paclitaxel pharmacodynamics, paclitaxel local drug delivery, and drug eluting balloons, with a focus on the use of paclitaxel in the context of coronary and peripheral vascular disease. RESULTS: The primary search produced 182 results of which 51 papers were relevant. Of the 51 relevant papers, 27 were original research papers and 24 were either review papers, commentary or opinion papers. CONCLUSIONS: Paclitaxel has several chemical properties, which make it ideal for local drug delivery including its hydrophobicity, ability to concentrate into the arterial intima layer and prolonged effect on cells even after brief exposure periods. Local delivery of paclitaxel via injection catheters, balloon catheters and coated balloons has shown encouraging results in terms of efficacy and safety in small-scale animal and clinical studies. Additional preclinical and clinical studies are needed to determine the long-term efficacy and safety of these treatments in humans.

Background: Augmented reality (AR) guidance holds potential to improve transcatheter interventions by enabling visualization of and interaction with patient-specific 3-dimensional virtual content. Positioning of cerebral embolic protection devices (CEP) during transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) increases patient exposure to radiation and iodinated contrast, and increases procedure time. AR may enhance procedural guidance and facilitate a safer intervention. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to develop and test a novel AR guidance system with a custom user interface that displays virtual, patient-specific 3-dimensional anatomic models, and assess its intraprocedural impact during CEP placement in TAVR. Methods: Patients undergoing CEP during TAVR were prospectively enrolled and assigned to either AR guidance or control groups. Primary endpoints were contrast volume used prior to filter placement, times to filter placement, and fluoroscopy time. Postprocedure questionnaires were administered to assess intraprocedural physician experience with AR guidance. Results: A total of 24 patients presenting for TAVR were enrolled in the study (12 with AR guidance and 12 controls). AR guidance eliminated the need for aortic arch angiograms prior to device placement thus reducing contrast volume (0 mL vs 15 mL, P < 0.0001). There was no significant difference in the time required for filter placement or fluoroscopy time. Postprocedure questionnaires indicated that AR guidance increased confidence in wiring of the aortic arch and facilitated easier device placement. Conclusions: We developed a novel AR guidance system that eliminated the need for additional intraprocedural angiograms prior to device placement without any significant difference in time to intervention and offered a subjective improvement in performance of the intervention.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Outcomes after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for de novo ostial right coronary artery (RCA) lesions are poor. AIMS: We used intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) to clarify the morphological patterns of de novo ostial RCA lesions and their associated clinical outcome. METHODS: Among 5,102 RCA IVUS studies, 170 de novo ostial RCA stenoses (within 3 mm from the aorto-ostium) were identified. These were classified as 1) isolated ostial lesions (no disease extending beyond 10 mm from the ostium and without a calcified nodule [CN]); 2) ostial CN, typically with diffuse disease (disease extending beyond 10 mm); and 3) ostial lesions with diffuse disease but without a CN. The primary outcome was target lesion failure (TLF: cardiac death, target vessel myocardial infarction, definite stent thrombosis, and ischaemia-driven target lesion revascularisation). RESULTS: The prevalence of an isolated ostial lesion was 11.8% (n=20), 47.6% (n=81) were ostial CN, and 40.6% (n=69) were ostial lesions with diffuse disease. Compared to ostial lesions with diffuse disease, isolated lesions were more common in women (75.0% vs 42.0%; p=0.01), and CN were associated with older age (median [first, third quartile] 76 [70, 83] vs 69 [63, 81] years old; p=0.002). The Kaplan-Meier rate of TLF at 2 years was significantly higher in patients with CN (21.6%) compared to diffuse lesions (8.2%) (p=0.04), and patients with isolated lesions had no events. A multivariable Cox proportional hazard model revealed that CN were significantly associated with TLF (hazard ratio 6.63, 95% confidence interval: 1.28-34.3; p=0.02). CONCLUSIONS: Ostial RCA lesions have specific morphologies - detectable by IVUS - that may be associated with long-term clinical outcomes.

BACKGROUND: Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) studies show that one-quarter of left anterior descending (LAD) arteries have a myocardial bridge. An MB may be associated with stent failure when the stent extends into the MB. OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to investigate: 1) the association between an MB and chronic total occlusion (CTO) in any LAD lesions; and 2) the association between an MB and subsequent clinical outcomes after percutaneous coronary intervention in LAD CTOs. METHODS: A total of 3,342 LAD lesions with IVUS-guided percutaneous coronary intervention (280 CTO and 3,062 non-CTO lesions) were included. The primary outcome was target lesion failure (cardiac death, target vessel myocardial infarction, definite stent thrombosis, and ischemic-driven target lesion revascularization). RESULTS: An MB by IVUS was significantly more prevalent in LAD CTOs than LAD non-CTOs (40.4% [113/280] vs 25.8% [789/3,062]; P < 0.0001). The discrepancy in CTO length between angiography and IVUS was greater in 113 LAD CTOs with an MB than 167 LAD CTOs without an MB (6.0 [Q1, Q3: 0.1, 12.2] mm vs 0.2 [Q1, Q3: -1.4, 8.4] mm; P < 0.0001). Overall, 48.7% (55/113) of LAD CTOs had a stent that extended into an MB after which target lesion failure was significantly higher compared to a stent that did not extend into an MB (26.3% vs 0%; P = 0.0004) or compared to an LAD CTO without an MB (26.3% vs 9.6%; P = 0.02). CONCLUSIONS: An MB was more common in LAD CTO than non-CTO LAD lesions. If present, approximately one-half of LAD CTOs had a stent extending into an MB that, in turn, was associated with worse outcomes.

Mitral regurgitation is the most common valvular disease and is estimated to affect over 5 million Americans. Real-world data collection contributes to safety and effectiveness evidence for the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, quality evaluation for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services and hospitals, and clinical best practice research. We aimed to establish a minimum core data set in mitral interventions to promote efficient, reusable real-world data collection for all of these purposes. Two expert task forces separately evaluated and reconciled a list of candidate elements derived from: 1) 2 ongoing transcatheter mitral trials; and 2) a systemic literature review of high-impact mitral trials and U.S multicenter, multidevice registries. From 703 unique data elements considered, unanimous consensus agreement was achieved on 127 "core" data elements, with the most common reasons for exclusion from the minimum core data set being burden or difficulty in accurate assessment (41.2%), duplicative information (25.0%), and low likelihood of affecting outcomes (19.6%). After a systematic review and extensive discussions, a multilateral group of academicians, industry representatives, and regulators established and implemented into the national Society of Thoracic Surgery/American College of Cardiology Transcatheter Valve Therapies Registry 127 interoperable, reusable core data elements to support more efficient, consistent, and informative transcatheter mitral device evidence for regulatory submissions, safety surveillance, best practice development, and hospital quality assessments.

BACKGROUND: Despite a high rate of in-stent restenosis (ISR) after stenting the right coronary artery (RCA) ostium, the mechanism of ostial RCA ISR is not well understood. AIMS: We aimed to clarify the cause of ostial RCA ISR using intravascular ultrasound (IVUS). METHODS: Overall, 139 ostial RCA ISR lesions were identified with IVUS, pre-revascularisation. Primary ISR mechanisms were classified as follows: 1) neointimal hyperplasia (NIH); 2) neoatherosclerosis; 3) ostium not covered by the stent; 4) stent fracture or deformation; 5) stent underexpansion (old minimum stent area <4.0 mm2 or stent expansion <50%); or 6) a protruding calcified nodule. RESULTS: The median duration from prior stenting was 1.2 (first quartile 0.6, third quartile 3.1) years. The primary mechanisms of ISR were NIH in 25% (n=35) of lesions, neoatherosclerosis in 22% (n=30), uncovered ostium in 6% (n=9) (biological cause 53%, n=74), stent fracture or deformation in 25% (n=35), underexpansion in 11% (n=15), and protruding calcified nodules in 11% (n=15) (mechanical cause 47%, n=65). Including secondary mechanisms, 51% (n=71) of ostial RCA ISRs had stent fractures that were associated with greater hinge motion of the ostial-aorta angle during the cardiac cycle. The Kaplan-Meier rate of target lesion failure at 1 year was 11.5%. When the mechanically caused ISRs were treated without new stents, they suffered a higher subsequent event rate (41.4%) compared with non-mechanical causes or mechanical causes treated without restenting (7.8%, unadjusted hazard ratio 6.44, 95% confidence interval: 2.33-17.78; p<0.0001). CONCLUSIONS: Half of the ostial RCA ISRs were due to mechanical causes. Subsequent event rates were high, especially in mechanically caused ISRs treated without the implantation of a new stent.

Data on depression and stress among patients with spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) are limited. Using data from the VIRGO (Variation in Recovery: Role of Gender on Outcomes of Young AMI Patients) study, which prospectively enrolled 3,572 acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients between 18 and 55 years of age, we identified 67 SCAD cases. We compared Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) and 14-item Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-14) scores obtained at baseline, 1 month, and 12 months between SCAD and AMI of all other causes. Using longitudinal linear mixed-effects analysis, we compared depression and stress scores between SCAD and other AMI, adjusting for time and selected covariates. Patients with SCAD had lower baseline PHQ-9 scores (6.1 ± 6.0 vs 7.7 ± 6.4 for other patients with AMI, p = 0.03), similar 1-month scores, and lower 12-month scores (3.2 ± 4.3 vs 4.9 ± 5.5, p = 0.004). At baseline and 1 month, patients with SCAD had similar PSS-14 scores to those of other patients with AMI. At 12 months, patients with SCAD had lower scores (18.4 ± 8.8 vs 21.5 ± 9.3 for other patients with AMI, p = 0.009). After adjustment for cardiovascular risk factors, co-morbidities, and clinical acuity, no differences in PHQ-9 or PSS-14 scores remained between SCAD and other AMI. Similar results were obtained in a subgroup analysis of only women with SCAD and other AMI. In conclusion, patients with SCAD had a relatively lower burden of depression and perceived stress than other patients with AMI, potentially because of fewer co-morbidities and favorable socioeconomic factors. However, given high depression and stress burden in both SCAD and other patients with AMI, routine screening can help identify and treat these patients.

BACKGROUND: Data on health status outcomes after spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) are limited. METHODS AND FINDINGS: Using the Variation in Recovery: Role of Gender on Outcomes of Young AMI Patients (VIRGO) study we compared patients with SCAD and other acute myocardial infarction (AMI) at presentation (baseline), 1-month, and-12 months using standardized health status instruments. Among 3572 AMI patients ≤ 55 years, 67 had SCAD. SCAD patients were younger (median age (IQR) 45 (40.5-51) years vs. 48 (44-52) in other AMI, p = 0.003), more often female (92.5% vs. 66.6%), have college education (73.1% vs. 51.7%) and household income >$100,000 (43.3% vs. 17.7% (All p<0.001). SCAD patients at baseline had higher mean ± SD Short Form-12 [SF-12] physical component scores [PCS] (48.7±10.2 vs. 43.8±12.1, p<0.001) and mental component scores [MCS] (49.6±12.4 vs. 45.4±12.5, p = 0.008), and at 12-months [PCS (50.1±9.0 vs. 44.3±12.3, p<0.001) and MCS (53±10.1 vs 50.2±11.0, p = 0.045)]. The Euro-Quality of Life Scale [EQ-5D] VAS and EQ-5D index scores were similar at baseline, but higher at 12-months for SCAD (EQ-5D VAS: 82.2±10.2 vs. 72.3±21.0, p<0.001; EQ-5D index scores; 90.2±15.3 vs. 83.7±19.8, p = 0.012). SCAD patients had better baseline Seattle Angina Questionnaire [SAQ] physical limitation (88.8±20.1 vs. 81.2±25.4, p = 0.017). At 12-months SCAD patients had better physical limitation (98.0±8.5 vs. 91.4±18.8, p = 0.007), angina frequency (96.4±8.8 vs. 91.3±16.8, p = 0.018) and quality of life scores (80.7±14.7 vs 72.2±23.2, p = 0.005). Magnitude of change in health status from baseline to 12-months was not statistically different between the groups. After adjustment for time and comorbidities there remained no difference in most health status outcomes. CONCLUSIONS: SCAD patients fare marginally better than other AMI patients on most health status instruments and have similar 12-month health status recovery. Better pre-event health status suggests a need to modify exercise prescriptions and cardiac rehabilitation protocols to better assist this physically active population to recover.

Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is the standard of care for severe, symptomatic aortic stenosis. Real-world TAVR data collection contributes to benefit/risk assessment and safety evidence for the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, quality evaluation for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services and hospitals, as well as clinical research and real-world implementation through appropriate use criteria. The essential minimum core dataset for these purposes has not previously been defined but is necessary to promote efficient, reusable real-world data collection supporting quality, regulatory, and clinical applications. The authors performed a systematic review of the published research for high-impact TAVR studies and U.S. multicenter, multidevice registries. Two expert task forces, one from the Predictable and Sustainable Implementation of National Cardiovascular Registries/Heart Valve Collaboratory and another from The Society of Thoracic Surgeons/American College of Cardiology TVT (Transcatheter Valve Therapy) Registry convened separately and then met to reconcile a final list of essential data elements. From 276 unique data elements considered, unanimous consensus agreement was achieved on 132 "core" data elements, with the most common reasons for exclusion from the minimum core dataset being burden or difficulty in accurate assessment (36.9%), duplicative information (33.3%), and low likelihood of affecting outcomes (10.7%). After a systematic review and extensive discussions, a multilateral group of academicians, industry representatives, and regulators established 132 interoperable, reusable essential core data elements essential to supporting more efficient, consistent, and informative TAVR device evidence for regulatory submissions, safety surveillance, best practice, and hospital quality assessments.

Right ventricular pressure-volume (PV) analysis characterizes ventricular systolic and diastolic properties independent of loading conditions like volume status and afterload. While long-considered the gold-standard method for quantifying myocardial chamber performance, it was traditionally only performed in highly specialized research settings. With recent advances in catheter technology and more sophisticated approaches to analyze PV data, it is now more commonly used in a variety of clinical and research settings. Herein, we review the basic techniques for PV loop measurement, analysis, and interpretation with the aim of providing readers with a deeper understanding of the strengths and limitations of PV analysis. In the second half of the review, we detail key scenarios in which right ventricular PV analysis has influenced our understanding of clinically relevant topics and where the technique can be applied to resolve additional areas of uncertainty. All told, PV analysis has an important role in advancing our understanding of right ventricular physiology and its contribution to cardiovascular function in health and disease.

Background Aortic stenosis is prevalent in end-stage renal disease. Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is a plausible alternative for surgical aortic valve replacement. However, little is known regarding long-term outcomes in patients with end-stage renal disease who undergo TAVR. Methods and Results We identified all patients with end-stage renal disease who underwent TAVR from 2011 through 2016 using the United States Renal Data System. The primary end point was 5-year mortality after TAVR. Factors associated with 1- and 5-year mortality were analyzed. A total of 3883 TAVRs were performed for patients with end-stage renal disease. Mortality was 5.8%, 43.7%, and 88.8% at 30 days, 1 year, and 5 years, respectively. Case volumes increased rapidly from 17 in 2011 to 1495 in 2016. Thirty-day mortality demonstrated a dramatic reduction from 11.1% in 2012 to 2.5% in 2016 (P=0.01). Age 75 or older (hazard ratio [HR], 1.14; 95% CI, 1.05-1.23 [P=0.002]), body mass index <25 (HR, 1.18; 95% CI, 1.08-1.28 [P<0.001]), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (HR, 1.25; 95% CI, 1.1-1.35 [P<0.001]), diabetes mellitus as the cause of dialysis (HR, 1.22; 95% CI, 1.11-1.35 [P<0.001]), hypertension as the cause of dialysis (HR, 1.17; 95% CI, 1.06-1.29 [P=0.004]), and White race (HR, 1.17; 95% CI, 1.06-1.3 [P=0.002]) were independently associated with 5-year mortality. Conclusions Short-term outcomes of TAVR in patients with end-stage renal disease have improved significantly. However, long-term mortality of patients on dialysis remains high.

Background Suprasternal access is an alternative access strategy for transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) where the innominate artery is cannulated from an incision above the sternal notch. To date, suprasternal access has never been compared with transfemoral TAVR. Thus, we sought to assess safety, feasibility, and early clinical outcomes between suprasternal and transfemoral access for patients undergoing TAVR. Methods and Results We evaluated patients from 2 institutional prospective, observational registries containing 1348 patients. Patients were selected in a 2:1 ratio (transfemoral:suprasternal) on the basis of propensity score matching. The primary outcome was in-hospital mortality, and secondary outcomes included the incidence of ischemic stroke, major bleeding, vascular injury, left bundle-branch block, and permanent pacemaker implantation at 30-day follow-up. Propensity score matching identified 89 patients undergoing suprasternal TAVR and 159 patients undergoing transfemoral TAVR suitable for analysis. There was no significant difference between suprasternal TAVR and transfemoral TAVR with respect to in-hospital mortality (1.1% versus 0.6%; odds ratio [OR], 1.80; 95% CI, 0.11-29.06; P=0.680). No patients in either cohort suffered an ischemic stroke. The incidence of major bleeding (2.2% versus 2.5%; OR, 0.89; 95% CI, 0.16-4.96; P=0.895) and vascular injury (1.1% versus 1.9%; OR, 0.59; 95% CI, 0.06-5.77; P=0.651) did not differ significantly. The frequency of left bundle-branch block (9.4% versus 15.8%; OR, 0.56; 95% CI, 0.24-1.30; P=0.177) and permanent pacemaker implantation (11.2% versus 5.9%; OR, 2.01; 95% CI, 0.75-5.45; P=0.169) were not statistically significantly different. Conclusions Suprasternal TAVR was safe and achieved promising short-term clinical outcomes when compared with transfemoral TAVR. Future studies seeking to identify the optimal alternative access site should evaluate suprasternal TAVR access alongside other substitutes for transfemoral TAVR.

For decades, the established standard of care for left main and multivessel coronary artery disease has been coronary artery bypass surgery because a significant survival advantage was found in patients revascularized with surgery compared with medical management. Although visions of less invasive strategies to manage this disease arose with the development of percutaneous coronary interventions, surgery proved to provide higher survival rates compared with balloon angioplasty and improved durability, with fewer required repeat revascularizations, compared with use of bare-metal stents. Drug-eluting stents revived hopes of an alternative treatment modality after trials demonstrated their safety and efficacy in other types of high-risk patients. Their wide-spread on- and off-label use led to several nonrandomized studies and, more recently, to randomized clinical trials comparing drug-eluting stents and bypass surgery.
