Presented at #ESCCongress:
In patients with severe tricuspid regurgitation and heart failure, transcatheter tricuspid-valve repair plus medical therapy was superior to medical therapy alone in reducing hospitalizations for heart failure and deaths. Full TRIC-I-HF trial results: nej.md/4ilZJGr@escardio
ALT Three graphs showing Kaplan–Meier estimates for prespecified events as adjudicated by the clinical-events committee at 3 years. Panel A shows freedom from death from any cause or hospitalization for heart failure (second coprimary end point), Panel B survival, and Panel C freedom from hospitalization for heart failure.
Aortic dissection after #TAVR is rare but associated with substantial early mortality, requiring prompt recognition and individualized multidisciplinary management. Get the details in #JACCCaseReports: jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.jacca…
When is the right time to intervene in a giant pulmonary artery aneurysm?
Really enjoyed writing our latest editorial in @JACCJournals with Niti Dalal, accompanying an important case from Ajay Kerai, Cozette Killian, Charles Hoopes & Eric Orozco-Hernandez.
Read here: jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.jacca…
Their patient had longstanding PAH with a pulmonary artery aneurysm that grew to about 9cm, eventually requiring combined heart–lung transplantation.
The case raises the question of when reconstruction is no longer enough and heart–lung transplantation becomes the better physiologic option.
Our editorial focuses on an equally important question: are we waiting too long?
In PAH-associated PAA, clinical and hemodynamic stability may not mean anatomic stability. The aneurysm can continue to enlarge even when the patient appears to be doing better.
A fascinating case and an important discussion about timing, anatomy, physiology, and transplant decision-making.
Congratulations to Ajay P. Kerai, A. Cozette Killian, Charles W. Hoopes & Eric Orozco-Hernandez for the report, and always a pleasure working with Niti Dalal.
