Mortality after transcatheter aortic valve replacement in young multimorbid patients as compared to an age-, gender- and comorbidity-matched background population by Pernille Steen Bække, Vilhelmas Bajoras, Vilhelmas Bajoras, Vilhelmas Bajoras, Jawad Butt, Thomas Pilgrim, Nicholas Joseph Montarello, Maurizio Taramasso, Didier Tchetche, Liesbeth Rosseel, Ričardas Kundelis, Ričardas Kundelis, Kristijonas Česas, Alexander Sedaghat, Jan-Malte Sinning, Rik Adrichem, Mizuki Miura, Magdalena Erlebach, Stephan Windecker, Darren Mylotte, Raj Makkar, Emil Fosbøl, Nicolas Van Mieghem, Ole De Backer

“…IntroductionContrary to the current guidelines patients with symptomatic severe aortic stenosis and ≤65 years of age are often referred for transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). However, the outcome after TAVR in this patient cohort remains unclear.ObjectivesThis study aimed to assess the rationale for denial of surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) in young multimorbid patients referred for TAVR, to evaluate 3-year all-cause mortality and to compare outcomes with a matched control cohort.Patients and methodsRetrospective data were collected on all consecutive patients ≤65 years of age with severe aortic stenosis treated with TAVR at 9 centres between 2010 and 2019. …”

Effect of graft sizing in valve-sparing aortic root replacement for bicuspid aortic valve: The Goldilocks ratioCentral MessagePerspective by Perry S. Choi, MD, Amit Sharir, BA, Yoshikazu Ono, MD, Masafumi Shibata, MD, Alexander D. Kaiser, PhD, Yuanjia Zhu, MD, PhD, Alison L. Marsden, PhD, Y. Joseph Woo, MD, Michael R. Ma, MD, Joon Bum Kim, MD, PhD

“…Objective: To investigate the effect of graft sizing on valve performance in valve-sparing aortic root replacement for bicuspid aortic valve. Methods: In addition to a diseased control model, 3 representative groups—free-edge length to aortic/graft diameter (FELAD) ratio <1.3, 1.5 to 1.64, and >1.7—were replicated in explanted porcine aortic roots (n = 3) using straight grafts sized respective to the native free-edge length. …”
