      <p><i>Objectives - </i>To investigate whether preoperative echocardiographic evaluation of ventricular function, especially right ventricular systolic and diastolic parameters including speckle-tracking analysis, could aid in the prediction of 30-day mortality after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) in patients with aortic stenosis. <p><i>Methods - </i>This is a prospective observational ...

      <i>Objectives</i>. The inflammatory response to on-pump cardiac surgery is well known. Systemic inflammatory response syndrome after transcatheter valve implantation (TAVI) has been reported. The objective of this study was to study the inflammatory response during TAVI, and compare with the response during surgical aortic valve replacement. <i>Methods</i>. Eighteen patients undergoing transcatheter ...
    • Risk scores for prediction of 30-day mortality after transcatheter aortic valve implantation: Results from a two-center study in Norway

      Objectives: Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI)-specific risk scores have been developed based on large registry studies. Our aim was to evaluate how both surgical and novel TAVI risk scores performed in predicting all cause 30-day mortality. In addition, we wanted to explore the validity of our own previously developed model in a separate and more recent cohort.<p> <p>Methods: The ...
