- AFib before and after TAVR linked to significant risks
This included the patients who already had preexisting AFib and the 4 5% of patients who developed new-onset AFib after undergoing TAVR After a median follow-up period of more than three years, the authors found all-cause mortality and all-cause hospitalizations were both more likely among patients with post-TAVR AFib
- Atrial Fibrillation After Heart Surgery: Important Facts
Eileen’s question was, “Is atrial fibrillation after heart valve surgery common?” As you may know… Atrial fibrillation is closely associated with heart valve disease For that reason, I wanted to get Eileen an expert opinion So, I tracked down Dr Marc Gillinov who is the new Chair of Cardiac Surgery at the Cleveland Clinic So you
- The “Big Five” Complications After Transcatheter Aortic Valve . . .
However, as there are 2 sides to every coin, we must differentiate the periprocedural (probably embolic) stroke risk during the first 48 h, which accounts for only one-half of the TAVR-related strokes, from the later risk that may be associated with occult atrial fibrillation or subclinical valve thrombosis Fortunately, the TAVR-related stroke
- Postoperative Atrial Fibrillation Flutter After TAVR or SAVR
Postoperative atrial fibrillation or flutter (POAF) occurs in 12 3% of patients who undergo surgical or transcatheter valve replacement for severe aortic stenosis, with significantly higher incidence in the surgical group, both early and late Patients who experience late POAF or any POAF after
- Management of atrial fibrillation after transcatheter aortic . . .
Atrial Fibrillation (AF) is very common among patients with severe aortic stenosis Moreover, new onset AF (NOAF) is a frequent finding after Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) There is a significant impact of AF on outcomes in patients undergoing TAVR including mortality, thrombo-embolic and bleeding events
- Anticoagulation Therapy for Atrial Fibrillation After . . .
Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is increasingly used in patients with aortic stenosis; however, the optimal postoperative anticoagulation therapy for patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) remains controversial We aimed to investigate the association between anticoagulant therapy selection and outcomes in patients with AF after TAVR
- Perioperative outcomes of atrial fibrillation in patients . . .
A greater proportion of TAVR patients with Afib had a duration of hospital stay ≥ 3 days (44 8 % vs 34 %, p < 0 001) than those without Afib TAVR patients with Afib incurred higher total charges (median charge: $195,914 vs $186,859; p < 0 001) and total costs (median cost: $49,951 vs $47,755, p < 0 001) during hospitalization than TAVR
