The novel AAA index identifies patients with small aortic annuli at increased risk of predischarge suboptimal forward-flow hemodynamics after TAVR, with no difference in 1-year clinical efficacy.
Does the novel AAA index identify patients at increased risk of suboptimal forward-flow hemodynamics in patients with small aortic annuli undergoing TAVR?
The novel AAA index can identify TAVR patients with small annuli who are at risk for suboptimal predischarge hemodynamics, though this finding did not translate to differences in 1-year clinical efficacy.
Absolute Event Rate: 0% vs 0%
Among patients with small aortic annuli undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement, the novel AAA index further identifies patients at increased risk of predischarge suboptimal forward-flow hemodynamics. No difference in clinical efficacy at 1-year follow-up was observed according to the AAA index.
Leone et al. (Wed,) reported a other. The novel AAA index identifies patients with small aortic annuli at increased risk of predischarge suboptimal forward-flow hemodynamics after TAVR, with no difference in 1-year clinical efficacy.
