Why the study?
Does pulmonary hypertension affect mortality and functional status in patients with severe aortic stenosis undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation?
Does pulmonary hypertension affect mortality and functional status in patients with severe aortic stenosis undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation?
Pulmonary hypertension is a predictor of 1-year mortality in patients undergoing TAVI for severe aortic stenosis, although functional status improves regardless of baseline pulmonary pressures.

PH marks higher 1-year TAVI mortality risk; leaves open whether PH-targeted therapy improves outcomes.
Luçon et al. (2014) studied this question.
