Background Right ventricular (RV) systolic dysfunction is associated with worse survival in
patients undergoing surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR), yet it is not included in …

Two alternative approaches for transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) exist for
patients unsuitable for the transfemoral approach; the transapical and the transaortic …

Background—The CoreValve US High-Risk Clinical Study compared clinical outcomes and
serial echocardiographic findings in patients with severe aortic valve stenosis after …

Aims To investigate the impact of the right ventricle to pulmonary artery (RV-PA) coupling on
the outcome of patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve intervention (TAVI), and to …

OBJECTIVES Previous studies have found that standard echocardiographic measures of
right ventricular (RV) function were impaired after surgical replacement of the aortic valve …

OBJECTIVES Describe changes in measures of right ventricular (RV) function in patients
treated for aortic stenosis using open-chest surgery (SAVR) or transcatheter treatment …

Background Prior publications note increased adverse events after transapical compared

Background: Right ventricular function (RVF) is an independent predictor of prognosis for
patients undergoing aortic valve replacement: transcatheter aortic valve replacement …

Background and aim. It has been demonstrated that right ventricular systolic dysfunction
develops soon after surgical aortic valve replacement (s-AVR). While the impact of s-AVR or …
