#EACTS2020 Update!
What a busy day! Great session related to TAVI and discussion of low risk patients and insights from the 🇺🇸 TVT database containing results from over 330,000 patients! Read more below... warning, long but interesting (hopefully!) thread...

First presentation included 2yr outcomes from PARTNER 3 trial from Dr Vinod Thourani 👇 
We were reminded of the 1year results presented last year at ACC
Significant difference in composite 1o EP at 1yr, endpoint was death / stroke / rehospitalization
At 2 yrs, similar results for this composite EP

Trial design in TAVI
Total number of total primary outcome events 4x lower in low-risk trial for Sapien. CoreValve more robust by design, yet events 2.5x lower and 2yr follow-up computed.

SYNTAX score is an angiographic score of angiographic complexity
Designed to predict feasibility of PCI - nothing to do with feasibility of CABG or outcomes

It may prove actually wrong for CABG: a CTO can easily be grafted, yet prediction by SYNTAX would suspect bad outcome.

Abstract - PERSIST-AVR RCT
Well, had to choose this! Not often there's a RCT in heart valve disease!
Study: Perceval sutureless valve vs a stented tissue aortic valve, both by full sternotomy and mini sternotomy approaches

47 sites across 3 continents recruiting from 2016-2018
578 underwent isolated AVR
Mean age 75yrs

Abstract - MV repair or replacement in the elderly? Presented Friday
I was interested in this as I too have often wondered if repair is "necessary" or "correct" in the older patient

Over past 15yrs, the number of MV operations has increased and % performed as repair has also increased...
Repair rate in ELECTIVE mitral surgery is ⬆️
Recently, the repair rate in URGENT and EMERGENCY mitral surgery has ⬇️ slightly

TAVI and Coronary Disease
Such a difficult topic! No RCTs. What do you do in these patients?

And, if your patient needs revascularization, do you *ever* do PCI and TAVI in the same procedure?
