Is reoperation better than TMVR for patients with failed mitral prostheses?

17 Jan 2024

Redoing surgical mitral valve replacement (SMVR) or undergoing transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR) in patients with failed prostheses results in similar 3-year outcomes, reports a recent study. TMVR, however, initially displays a lower risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), but this risk increases after 6 months.

16 Jan 2024

Patients who received direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) following transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR) seem to have a lower risk of bleeding complications and shorter length of hospital stay, with no significant increase in the risk of thrombotic events, than those treated with vitamin K antagonists (VKAs), a study has shown.
