Why the study?
Does transcatheter aortic valve replacement for bicuspid aortic stenosis reduce mortality or stroke in patients with aortic stenosis compared to transcatheter aortic valve replacement for tricuspid aortic stenosis?
Does transcatheter aortic valve replacement for bicuspid aortic stenosis reduce mortality or stroke in patients with aortic stenosis compared to transcatheter aortic valve replacement for tricuspid aortic stenosis?
TAVR for bicuspid aortic stenosis is associated with similar 1-year mortality but a higher 30-day stroke risk compared to TAVR for tricuspid aortic stenosis.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Stroke risk caution warranted with TAVR for bicuspid AS; leaves open need for randomized confirmation.
