ALT Article Topic: Valve. Article title: Early Hemodynamic Valve Deterioration After Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation Written by Ashwat, Sultan, and coauthors In a single-center analysis of 4317 patients, approximately 6% of patients had evidence of hemodynamic valve deterioration one year after transcatheter aortic valve replacement. The main risk factors were younger age, smaller aortic annuli, and smaller prostheses.
