Early clinical and echocardiographic outcomes after SAPIEN 3 transcatheter aortic valve replacement in inoperable, high-risk and intermediate-risk patients with aortic stenosis

摘要

Aims Based on randomized trials using first-generation devices, transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is well established in the treatment of high-risk (HR) patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS). To date, there is a paucity of adjudicated, prospective data evaluating outcomes with newer generation devices and in lower risk patients. We report early outcomes of a large, multicentre registry of inoperable, HR, and intermediate-risk (IR) patients undergoing treatment with the next-generation SAPIEN 3 transcatheter heart valve (THV).
