Decision-making preceding transcatheter aortic valve implantation in frail older adults : Vulnerable autonomy, novel frailty scoring and clinical outcomes important to treatment strategy. A mixed method study
Skaar, Elisabeth (Doctoral thesis, 2020-04-24)Introduction: Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI), also known as transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), is a new technique for treating severe, symptomatic aortic stenosis. The mean age for TAVI patients ... -
Effectiveness, safety, and patient reported outcomes of a planned investment procedure in higher-risk chronic total occlusion percutaneous coronary intervention: Rationale and design of the invest-CTO study
Øksnes, Anja; Skaar, Elisabeth; Engan, Britt; Bleie, Øyvind; Løland, Kjetil Halvorsen; Taoussi, Nadia; Maehara, Akiko; Norekvål, Tone Merete; Rotevatn, Svein; McEntegart, Margaret B. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Background: The anatomical complexity of a chronic total occlusion (CTO) correlates with procedural failure and complication rates. CTO modification after unsuccessful crossing has been associated with subsequent higher ... -
A novel Geriatric Assessment frailty score predicts two-year mortality after Transcatheter Aortic Valve implantation
Skaar, Elisabeth; Eide, Leslie Sofia Pareja; Norekvål, Tone M.; Ranhoff, Anette Hylen; Nordrehaug, Jan Erik; Forman, Daniel E.; Schönenberger, Anders; Hufthammer, Karl Ove; Kuiper, Karel Kier-Jan; Bleie, Øyvind; Haaverstad, Rune; Schaufel, Margrethe Aase; Packer, Erik Jerome Stene; Langørgen, Jørund (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-10-31)Aims Established surgical scores have limitations in delineating risk among candidates for transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). Assessment of frailty might help to estimate the mortality risk and identify patients ...
