Article Citation - WoS: 13Citation - Scopus: 13Evaluation of procedural and clinical outcomes of transcatheter aortic valve implantation: A single-center experience(Kare Publ, 2020) Karaduman, Bilge Duran; Kayaoğlu, Hüseyin Ayhan; Keleş, Telat; Bozkurt, EnginObjective: Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is an established alternative to surgical aortic valve replacement. Our study aimed to evaluate the implementation of TAVI at our large-volume center, having an all-comer patient population with short and long-term follow-ups. Methods: This retrospective, single-center analysis included 556 consecutive patients with symptomatic severe aortic stenosis (AS) who underwent TAVI between July 2011 and December 2019. Results: The mean age of the entire population was 77.6±7.9 years, and 54.9% were women. The Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS) mean score of the cohort was 6.0%±3.5%. The balloon-expandable valve (Sapien XT, Sapien 3; Edwards Lifesciences, Irvine, California) was the most frequently used valves in this cohort (94.6%). Transfemoral access was used in 96.3% of patients. Implantation success was achieved in 96.6% of cases. During the TAVI procedure, 7.2% of patients required permanent pacemaker implantation, with 37.5% in the Lotus valve group needing the most permanent pacemakers. The mean length of hospital stay for the entire cohort was 4.5±2.3 days. Overall, 22 (3.9%) in-hospital deaths occurred before hospital discharge. The mean follow-up period was 15.1±14.9 months for all patients, and a significant improvement was noted in all echocardiographic parameters and functional capacity. Paravalvular leak (PVL) was documented in 18.9% patients, mild in 17.9%, and moderate in 1% at discharge. No cases with severe PVL, necessitating additional procedures. The multiple logistic regression analysis revealed that sex, STS score, baseline SYNTAX score, bicuspid valve morphology, common femoral artery diameter, and post-TAVI PVL were independent predictors of overall mortality. Conclusion: To our knowledge, this study, which is the largest single-center real-world experience of TAVI in Turkey, demonstrated low complication rates with favorable short- and mid-term THV performance in patients undergoing TAVI.Editorial Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation in Bicuspid Aortic Valve Patients With Coagulation Factor 7 and 11 Deficiency and Atrial Fibrillation(Kare Publ, 2023) Guney, Murat Can; Karaduman, Bilge Duran; Ayhan, Huseyin; Keles, Telat; Bozkurt, Engin[No Abstract Available]Editorial Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 5Transcatheter Treatment Tricuspid Regurgitation by Valve-In Implantation With a Novel Balloon-Expandable Myval® Thv(Polish Cardiac Soc-polskie Towarzystwo Kardiologiczne, 2022) Ayhan, Huseyin; Karaduman, Bilge Duran; Keles, Telat; Bozkurt, Engin[No Abstract Available]Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Left Ventricular Geometry as a Predictor of Carotid Artery Stenosis Severity in Patients Undergoing Carotid Artery Stenting(Wiley, 2020) Karaduman, Bilge Duran; Ayhan, Huseyin; Keles, Telat; Bozkurt, EnginBackground and Aim Cerebrovascular diseases are the second most common cause of death worldwide. Moderate and severe carotid artery stenosis causes nearly 10% of all strokes. LV geometry is a familiar prognostic and diagnostic factor in several populations; yet, data on its role in carotid artery stenosis are unknown. In our study, we investigated the prognostic value of LV geometry in predicting carotid artery stenosis severity in patients undergoing carotid artery stenting. Methods Patients who underwent carotid artery stenting between January 2012 and January 2016 at our tertiary care center were evaluated retrospectively. Two hundred fifty-five patients who underwent carotid artery stenting were included in the study. Accessible echocardiographic documentation of ninety-eight patients was accessed and evaluated. Results LV normal geometry was detected in 37 (37.7%) of the 98 carotid artery stenting (CAS) patients, concentric hypertrophy in 13 (13.2%), eccentric hypertrophy in 9 (9.1%), and concentric remodeling in 39 (39.7%). By a majority, distal filter was used in normal geometry and eccentric hypertrophy groups (82.9% vs 100%, P: .017). Considering the relationship between carotid artery stenosis severity and LV geometry, we determined that the stenosis severity was statistically significantly higher in the concentric hypertrophy group (p:0.012). However, although no complications were detected in the concentric hypertrophy group, it did not reach statistical significance between the groups (P: .058). LVMi and as expected, Doppler velocity showed a significant correlation with stenosis severity (r = .23 vs .54; P: .021, <.001, respectively). Conclusion Echocardiographic evaluation of LV geometry provided prognostic information in the development of carotid artery stenosis. Abnormal LV geometry is an independent predictor in detecting the severity of carotid artery stenosis undergoing carotid artery stenting.Letter How To Define 30-Day Mortality? Reply(Turkish Soc Cardiology, 2021) Karaduman, Bilge Duran; Ayhan, Huseyin; Keles, Telat; Bozkurt, Engin[No Abstract Available]Article Association Between Rutherford Classification and Cha2ds2< Chads2 and Ascvd Scores in Peripheral Artery Disease Patients(Bmc, 2020) Karaduman, Bilge Duran; Ayhan, Huseyin; Keles, Telat; Bozkurt, EnginBackground and Aim: The classification system is important in assessing the severity of Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) and making the treatment decision. However, classification systems may not be sufficient and scoring systems developed to predict cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events can also be useful to assess the severity of PAD. In this study, our aim was to investigate the association of the Rutherford classification and CHADS(2), CHA(2)DS(2)-VASc and ASCVD scores in PAD patients. Method: A total of 65 consecutive patients with PAD (males 92.3%, mean age 63.0 +/- 9.2 years), who underwent percutaneous peripheral intervention were included in our retrospective study. Results: There were 16 patients in Category 2, 31 patients in Category 3, and 10 patients in Category 4 and eight patients in Category 5. The CHADS(2), CHA(2)DS(2)-VASc and ASCVD scores were found to be significantly different among the Rutherford categories and between each other. From Category 1 to 5, CHADS(2), CHA(2)DS(2)-VASc and ASCVD scores were significantly increased. When we grouped the scores as CHADS 2 <2 and <2 and CHA(2)DS(2)-VASc<4 and >= 4, it was determined that as the category increased the score group also increased. There was significantly correlation between CHADS(2), CHA(2)DS(2)-VASc and ASCVD scores with the Rutherford categories in correlation analyses. Conclusion: As far as we know, in this study which is the first study about the association of Rutherford classification and scoring systems, the major finding of the present study is that the CHADS(2), CHA(2)DS(2)-VASc and ASCVD scores was independently correlated with the severity of Rutherford Category in patients with PAD.

In this study, we present our single-center experience of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and its effect on clinical outcomes and mortality in patients undergoing TAVI.Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of 526 consecutive patients at our center, and 127 patients with obstructive coronary artery disease were included in the study. Patients were divided into two groups: the revascularization group (group 1) and the non-revascularization group (group 2). Procedural complications and long-term all-cause mortality rates were compared between the two groups.Results: Of the 526 patients, group 1 comprised 65 patients (12.3%) who underwent PCI, and group 2 comprised 62 patients (11.7%) who did not undergo revascularization. According to Valve Academic Research Consortium 2 criteria, post-procedural complications, including pericardial effusion, stroke, major vascular complications, major bleeding, and emerging arrhythmias, were similar between the groups. A Kaplan–Meier survival curve analysis showed no significant difference between the revascularization and non-revascularization groups (Overall: 40.0±2.8 month; 95% CI 34.4-45.6 month, p=0.959). After adjustment for basal SYNTAX score, chronic kidney disease stage, previous myocardial infarction, and baseline troponin levels, the long-term survival of group 1 was significantly longer when compared with group 2 (p=0.036). In 75.4% of cases, PCI was performed within 11.0±14.7 days before or after TAVI as a staged procedure. In 13.8% of cases, PCI was performed simultaneously with TAVI. While there was no significant difference in in-hospital, 6-month, and 1-year mortality rates between the simultaneous and staged PCI groups, there was a significant difference in 30-day mortality (11.1% vs. 0%, respectively; p=0.016).Conclusion: Peri-procedural and long-term safety outcomes and mortality rates are not significantly different between revascularized and non-revascularized patients, and neither staged nor simultaneous PCI have adverse outcomes in patients undergoing TAVI.Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 2Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation in Patients With Connective Tissue Disease(Taiwan Soc Cardiology, 2021) Ayhan, Huseyin; Karaduman, Bilge Duran; Keles, Telat; Bozkurt, EnginBackground: There is still no consensus on the treatment of patients with connective tissue disease (CTD) with severe symptomatic aortic stenosis (AS). The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility and safety of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) in patients with CTD. Methods: Five hundred and fifty consecutive symptomatic severe AS patients who underwent TAVI between 2011 and 2019 were included in this retrospective study, of whom 14 had CTD. Follow-up was performed 30 days, 6 months, and 1 year after the procedure. Results: Of the 14 (2.5%) patients who had CTD, most had rheumatoid arthritis (n = 10), followed by lupus erythematosus (n = 2), scleroderma (n = 1) and mixed (n = 1) CTD. The mean age was 77.6 +/- 7.9 years, and there was no statistical difference between the CTD and no-CTD groups. In addition, significantly more of the CTD patients (85.7%) were female compared to the no-CTD group (p = 0.018). None of the patients in the CTD group had acute kidney injury, stroke, major bleeding, or pericardial effusion. However, significantly more patients in the CTD group (n = 4) needed permanent pacemaker implantation than in the no-CTD group (p = 0.008). There were no significant differences between the two groups in terms of mean discharge time (CTD 4.6 +/- 2.0, no-CTD 4.5 +/- 2.3 days, p = 0.926) and in-hospital mortality [CTD 1 (7.1%), no-CTD 21 (3.9%); p = 0.542]. Conclusions: In this study, we presented the results of TAVI in patients with and without CTD. The TAVI procedure had similar mid-term outcomes in the two groups, and the CTD group had numerically lower rates of major complications at the cost of a higher incidence of pacemaker implantation.Letter Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 2Transcarotid Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation With a Novel Balloon Expandable Myval® Thv Under the Local Anesthesia(Tsinghua Univ Press, 2022) Ayhan, Huseyin; Karaduman, Bilge Duran; Keles, Telat; Uguz, Emrah; Boysan, Emre; Bozkurt, Engin[No Abstract Available]Letter Management of Left Ventricular Outflow Tract Obstruction in Transcatheter Mitral Valve Replacement(Aves, 2021) Bozkurt, Engin; Ayhan, Huseyin; Karaduman, Bilge Duran[No Abstract Available]
