Cardiac Health Assessment Using a Wearable Device Before and After Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation: Prospective Study

Cardiac Health Assessment Using a Wearable Device Before and After Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation: Prospective Study

As transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) for severe aortic stenosis is increasingly used for older adults, including a high percentage of patients with substantial comorbidity, improvement in quality of life (Qo L) is as important as extending life expectancy [1,2]. Not all TAVI patients benefit from improved physical activity, as assessed by a 6-minute walking test (6 MWT) or the Qo L questionnaire [3,4], nor does physical activity change the incidence of aortic stenosis [5].

Postoperative Sigmoidoscopy and Biopsy After Elective Endovascular and Open Aortic Surgery for Preventing Mortality by Colonic Ischemia (PSB-Aorta-CI): Protocol for a Prospective Study

Postoperative Sigmoidoscopy and Biopsy After Elective Endovascular and Open Aortic Surgery for Preventing Mortality by Colonic Ischemia (PSB-Aorta-CI): Protocol for a Prospective Study

Endovascular aortic repair (EVAR) is considered the standard procedure in treating patients diagnosed with abdominal aortic pathologies and suitable anatomy. Open surgery remains an option mostly for patients not suitable for endovascular surgery. Colonic ischemia is known as a severe complication after both open and endovascular aortic surgery. Its incidence is well described, and even with modern treatment options, colonic ischemia carries a high mortality rate.
