Antonio Sorropago: Major Updates in Structural Heart Interventions

Antonio Sorropago, Interventional Cardiologist at Policlinico di Monza, shared a post on LinkedIn about a recent articles, adding:

“Updates in structural heart interventions just dropped at HOTLINE 7 ESCCongress

From optimizing post TAVI antithrombotic strategies to game changing T TEER  Key takeaways and links to full papers

POPular ACE TAVI: Routine protamine administration after TAVI safely and significantly reduces the 30 day composite risk of mortality and bleeding compared to a selective approach, a benefit driven almost entirely by the prevention of minor Type 1 bleeds

TAVI PCI: For patients needing both TAVI and revascularization, performing TAVI first is noninferior to PCI first strategy at 1 year, validating a flexible valve first procedural sequence

TRIC I HF: In patients with severe tricuspid regurgitation and advanced heart failure, T TEER significantly improves 1 year QoL and clinical outcomes while slashing 3 year death or HF hospitalizations by 60 percent compared with OMT alone

ACASA TAVI: Twelve months of DOAC monotherapy after TAVI cuts subclinical leaflet thrombosis nearly in half compared with aspirin alone without compromising safety for bleeding, thromboembolic events or death

NOTION 4: A short 3 month DOAC regimen after TAVI only temporarily suppresses leaflet thickening on treatment showing no lasting prevention at 1 year and a higher composite risk of death, stroke or major bleeding compared with single antiplatelet therapy”
