TI  - Influence of atrial fibrillation in trans-catheter aortic valve replacement.
PG  - 467-73
AB  - In high-risk patients with severe aortic stenosis transcatheter aortic valve 
      replacement (TAVR) procedures have been found to be beneficial. Up to now TAVR 
      has been preferably performed on elderly patients, who cannot undergo 
      conventional aortic valve replacement (AVR). Usually, due to their advanced age, 
      these patients suffer from atrial fibrillation (AF) and are also more predisposed 
      to present left ventricular dysfunction. Both conditions influence short and 
      long-term prognosis in conventional AVR surgery. We do not really know how this 
      translates in new procedures such as TAVR. The purpose of the present paper was 
      to review how AF could affect TAVR procedures.
