Why the study?
Chronic steroid therapy is linked to higher vascular complication rates after TAVR, but its specific effect on aortic annular complications has not been directly assessed.
Does chronic systemic steroid therapy increase the risk of aortic annular or vascular complications in patients undergoing TAVR?
Does chronic systemic steroid therapy increase the risk of aortic annular or vascular complications in patients undergoing TAVR?
The abstract text is incomplete, but the study aims to investigate the effect of chronic systemic steroid therapy on aortic annular complications during TAVR.
Chronic steroid therapy was associated with higher TAVR vascular complications; leaves open effects on annular complications and needs prospective validation.
Chronic steroid therapy is associated with higher vascular complication rates in patients undergoing TAVR. The effect of corticosteroids on aortic annular complications has not been directly assessed in this population.
