OBJECTIVES: The third annual Cardiovascular Diseases (CV) Fellowship Program Directors (PDs) Survey sought to understand burnout and well-being among CV fellowship PDs. BACKGROUND: Physician burnout is a common phenomenon. Data on burnout among cardiologists, specifically CV PDs, remain limited. METHODS: The survey contained 8 questions examining satisfaction, stress, and burnout among CV fellowship PDs. Burnout was defined based on the self-reported presence of ≥1 symptom of burnout, constant feelings of burnout, or complete burnout...

Transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR) is a new approach for treating failed bioprosthetic valves, annuloplasty repairs, and mitral annular calcification. Computed tomography is the key in procedure planning and guiding to identify patients at high risk of anatomic complications, in particular, for left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction. There are several methods to reduce the risk of LVOT obstruction. A simple option is preemptive alcohol septal ablation, but this needs to be done prior to the TMVR procedure...

OBJECTIVES: We sought to report details of the incidence, organisms, clinical course, and outcomes of prosthetic valve endocarditis (PVE) after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) in low-risk patients. BACKGROUND: PVE remains a rare but devastating complication of aortic valve replacement. Data regarding PVE after TAVR in low-risk patients are lacking. METHODS: We performed a detailed review of all patients in the low-risk TAVR trials who underwent TAVR from 2016 to 2020 and were adjudicated to have definitive PVE by the independent Clinical Events Committee...

BACKGROUND: Prospective bicuspid low-risk transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) registries' data demonstrated encouraging short-term results. Detailed data on transcatheter heart valve (THV) geometry after deployment using contemporary devices are lacking. This study sought to examine valve geometry after TAVR in patients with bicuspid aortic stenosis (AS). METHODS: The study population was patients from the LRT (Low Risk TAVR) trial who underwent TAVR using the SAPIEN 3 THV for bicuspid and tricuspid AS...

OBJECTIVE: Compare two large-bore vascular closure devices (VCDs), collagen-plug-based MANTA and suture-based dual Perclose ProGlide (PP), in patients undergoing contemporary transfemoral transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). BACKGROUND: The SAFE MANTA IDE clinical trial demonstrated that the collagen-plug-based MANTA VCDs were safe and effective in closing large-bore arteriotomies. However, data comparing this collagen-plug-based VCD to the suture-based VCD in contemporary practice are sparse...

Although congenital coronary artery anomalies are relatively rare, they are the second most common cause of sudden cardiac death among young athletes. When encountered in the cardiac catherization laboratory, they are often challenging to selectively engage, requiring multiple catheters, plus increased contrast volume and radiation exposure. In the setting of acute coronary syndromes, it is not infrequent that percutaneous intervention is delayed because of the inability to engage an anomalous coronary artery...

Infective endocarditis can involve a normal, abnormal, or prosthetic cardiac valve. The diagnosis is typically made clinically with persistently positive blood cultures, characteristic signs and symptoms, and echocardiographic evidence of valvular vegetations or valvular complications such as abscess, dehiscence, or new regurgitation. Imaging plays an important role in the initial diagnosis of infective endocarditis, identifying complications, prognostication, and informing the next steps in therapy. This document outlines the initial imaging appropriateness of a patient with suspected infective endocarditis and for additional imaging in a patient with known or suspected infective endocarditis...

BACKGROUND: Left atrial appendage (LAA) echocardiographic assessment is difficult because of the complex shape and relatively small size of the LAA. Three-dimensional (3D) echocardiographic imaging can overcome the limitations of two-dimensional imaging. Pulsed-wave Doppler is the only currently standard LAA functional parameter. The aim of this study was to test a new approach for 3D echocardiographic volumetric analysis to obtain LAA ejection fraction (EF), its size and shape. METHODS: Transesophageal two-dimensional and 3D LAA images were prospectively obtained in 159 consecutive patients...

BACKGROUND: Previous studies from the Low Risk TAVR (LRT) trial demonstrated that transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is safe and feasible in low-risk patients, with excellent 30-day and 1-year outcomes. The objective of this study was to report clinical outcomes and the impact of 30-day hypoattenuated leaflet thickening (HALT) on structural valve deterioration (SVD) 2 years after TAVR. METHODS: The LRT trial was the first Food and Drug Administration-approved Investigational Device Exemption trial in the United States to evaluate the safety and feasibility of TAVR in low-risk patients with symptomatic severe tricuspid aortic stenosis (AS)...

BACKGROUND: The optimal antithrombotic regimen after transcatheter aortic valve replacement remains unclear. METHODS: In this randomized open-label study, low-risk patients undergoing transfemoral transcatheter aortic valve replacement at 7 centers in the United States were randomized 1:1 to low-dose aspirin or warfarin plus low-dose aspirin for 30 days. Patients who could not be randomized were enrolled in a separate registry. Computed tomography or transesophageal echocardiography was performed at 30 days...

BACKGROUND: The supra-annular leaflet position and tall stent frame of the self-expanding Evolut PRO or Evolut PRO+ transcatheter heart valves (THVs) may cause coronary occlusion during transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR)-in-TAVR and present challenges for future coronary access. We sought to evaluate the risk of TAVR-in-TAVR with Evolut PRO or Evolut PRO+ THVs and the feasibility of future coronary access. METHODS: The CoreValve Evolut PRO Prospective Registry (EPROMPT; NCT03423459) prospectively enrolled patients with symptomatic severe aortic stenosis to undergo TAVR using a commercially available latest generation self-expanding THV at 2 centers in the United States...

BACKGROUND/PURPOSE: This sub-analysis of the prospective Low Risk TAVR (LRT) trial determined anatomical characteristics associated with hypoattenuated leaflet thickening (HALT), which may contribute to early transcatheter heart valve (THV) degeneration. METHODS/MATERIALS: The LRT trial enrolled 200 low-risk patients between February 2016 and February 2018. All subjects underwent baseline and 30-day CT studies, analyzed by an independent core laboratory. Additional measurements, namely THV expansion, eccentricity, depth, and commissural alignment, were made by consensus of three independent readers...

Background The lack of diversity in the cardiovascular physician workforce is thought to be an important driver of racial and sex disparities in cardiac care. Cardiology fellowship program directors play a critical role in shaping the cardiology workforce. Methods and Results To assess program directors' perceptions about diversity and barriers to enhancing diversity, the authors conducted a survey of 513 fellowship program directors or associate directors from 193 unique adult cardiology fellowship training programs...

Coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) is a non-invasive modality used to assess for coronary artery disease. The CT Leaman and Leiden scores utilize coronary plaque location, composition and severity of stenosis to risk stratify patients for cardiovascular events with remarkable precision. This study compares the CCTA Leaman and Leiden score between overweight and obese populations in addition to their associated baseline characteristics. All patients who underwent CCTA within the last 1 year from a single institution were included for initial analysis...

OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to evaluate clinical outcomes and transcatheter heart valve hemodynamic parameters after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) in low-risk patients with bicuspid aortic stenosis (AS). BACKGROUND: TAVR is approved for low-risk patients in the United States. However, patients with bicuspid AS were excluded from the randomized cohorts of the pivotal low-risk trials.
