Outcomes of patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation with incidentally discovered masses on computed tomography
The American Journal of Cardiology Jul 17, 2020
Ghotra AS, Monlezun DJ, Boone D, et al. - This retrospective cohort study is done to determine if the presence of potentially malignant incidental masses (pMIM) influence the results of patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). Overall 1,081 patients were included, with mean age 79.1 (± 9.0), 48.8% were females, 16.8% with a history of prior malignancy, and 21.1% had pMIM. In this study sample including patients receiving TAVI, no increased one-year mortality was observed in correlation with the presence of pMIM alone. However, a significant increase in one-year mortality was observed in correlation with the presence of pMIM and a history of prior malignancy.
