Valve-in-valve TAVR an effective tool for treating structural valve degeneration after SAVR

2024 has been a banner year for structural heart treatments, especially those focused on the tricuspid valve. In February, for example, Edwards Lifesciences made history when its Evoque transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement (TTVR) system became the first device of its kind to gain U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for treating tricuspid regurgitation (TR). Two months later, Abbott’s TriClip transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) system also gained FDA approval for the treatment of TR.

With heart teams performing valve-in-valve TAVR more and more, researchers wanted to take a fresh look at patient outcomes. Overall, they found, the procedure was linked to a low mortality rate and fewer permanent pacemakers than native-valve TAVR.

Cardiologists give recycled pacemakers to heart patients in need

Eric Puroll, a project manager with the My Heart Your Heart program, examines donated pacemakers. For several years now, cardiologists, electrophysiologists and other heart specialists with the Frankel Cardiovascular Center at the University of Michigan (UM) have been working to get reconditioned pacemakers in the hands of patients who may not be able to afford a brand new device through the My Heart Your Heart program. Donated pacemakers are accepted if they have four years of battery life remaining.

When patients with pacemakers die, what happens to the device? Typically, it ends up being discarded and forgotten—they were designed to be single-use devices, after all—but that does not have to be the case.
