Why the study?
A new staging classification of aortic stenosis characterizing the extent of cardiac damage was established and validated, but an updated classification system needed validation in patients undergoing TAVI.
Does a refined staging classification of cardiac damage predict 1-year mortality in patients with aortic stenosis undergoing TAVI?
Population
1156 AS patients undergoing TAVI
Comparison
Updated stages of cardiac damage (Stage 0 to Stage 4)
Design
Prospective registry study
Follow-up

Cardiac damage staging stratifies post-TAVI mortality risk; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before guiding decisions.
Does a refined staging classification of cardiac damage predict 1-year mortality in patients with aortic stenosis undergoing TAVI?
Advanced cardiac damage (severe pulmonary hypertension or RV dysfunction) prior to TAVI is associated with a five- to seven-fold increased risk of 1-year mortality.
Okuno et al. (2021) studied this question.
