Send us Fan MailWhat if closing a PDA could be done at the bedside in under 10 minutes, without transporting a fragile preterm infant to the cath lab? Dr. Shyam Sathanandam, Chief of Cardiovascular Medicine at Nicklaus Children's Heart Institute, joins us to discuss the evolution of transcatheter PDA closure in extremely preterm infants. We cover how bedside procedures protect the most vulnerable neonates, which infants are most likely to benefit from closure, the learning curve and complication profile, and Dr. Sathanandam's vision of eventually training neonatologists to perform this procedure themselves.Dr. Shyam Sathanandam has consulting and compensation relationships with Abbott Laboratories and Medtronic, both relevant to topics discussed in this episode.Support the showAs always, feel free to send us questions, comments, or suggestions to our email: nicupodcast@gmail.com.

From evaluating the impact of intra-aortic balloon pumps to rethinking mechanical support strategies, the episode delivers a powerful update on one of cardiology's most urgent challenges.
In this podcast, Dr. Valentin Fuster reviews a pivotal study comparing the five-year outcomes of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) and surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) in low-risk patients with severe aortic stenosis. The study found that both treatments yielded similar mortality and stroke rates, reinforcing TAVR's non-inferiority to surgery, though long-term outcomes in younger patients and the impact of pacemaker implantation remain areas of concern.
In this podcast highlights the growing concern over transcatheter valve failure following transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), emphasizing the need for standardized imaging protocols and frequent follow-ups. Experts discuss best practices for monitoring and managing these patients, urging collaborative international efforts to validate new imaging techniques and improve patient outcomes.
In this episode, Dr. Valentin Fuster summarizes the March 11, 2025 issue of the JACC, which features groundbreaking research on transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) and its expanding applications. The podcast delves into the latest studies on TAVR's impact on heart failure patients, the need for better patient selection, and how new findings are shaping the future of aortic stenosis treatment.
