Post-TAVI inflammatory response stronger with self-expandable vs balloon valves

08 Nov 2021 by

The use of self-expandable valves (SEV) for transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) triggers a more robust inflammatory response relative to balloon-expandable valves (BEV), according to a recent study.

Enhanced, reduced vasodilation treatments carry opposite effects on central aortic BP in CKD

07 Nov 2021

Enhanced (EVT) and reduced vasodilation treatment (RVT) deliver contradictory impacts on central aortic blood pressure (cBP) in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), reports a study. Moreover, the difference between cBP and ambulatory BP is larger for EVT than RVT.
