Transcatheter aortic valve implantation with the self-expanding Portico valve system in an all-comers population: procedural and clinical outcomes
Why the study?
Does TAVI with the self-expanding Portico valve system improve procedural and clinical outcomes in an all-comers population with severe aortic stenosis?
Population
216 patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS) in an all-comers population, mean STS score 4.3±3.0%

Implication
Portico TAVI feasible across access routes in all-comers severe AS; leaves open comparative efficacy versus other valves.

Intervention
Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) with the self-expanding Portico valve system (transfemoral 91.2%, transsubclavian 5.6%, transcaval 3.2%)
O
Outcome
Device success and early safetysafety
The Portico TAVI system demonstrated high device success and acceptable safety, with learning curve effects reducing paravalvular leak and pacemaker implantation rates over time.
