HHHoward C. HerrmannRMRoxana MehranDBDaniel J. Blackman

Key Points

  • Severe aortic stenosis patients with a small aortic annulus face elevated risks of impaired valvular hemodynamic performance after TAVR.
  • Adverse cardiovascular clinical outcomes occur alongside reduced hemodynamic performance following transcatheter aortic-valve replacement.
  • Clinical evaluation focuses on self-expanding versus balloon-expandable prostheses to optimize outcomes in small aortic annulus anatomy.

Abstract

Patients with severe aortic stenosis and a small aortic annulus are at risk for impaired valvular hemodynamic performance and associated adverse cardiovascular clinical outcomes after transcatheter aortic-valve replacement (TAVR).

Expert Takes1 quote

“these results should influence valve selection in patients with a small aortic annulus. Everyone agrees that poor hemodynamic performance has adverse consequences”
