Implication

Calcification severity does not affect TAVI success or 30-day events; observational data leaves open need for prospective confirmation.

Structured PICO

Does the severity of aortic valve calcification impact procedural success and 30-day clinical outcomes in patients undergoing TAVI?

Population

1,365 patients with severe aortic stenosis undergoing TAVI from the prospective multicenter German TAVI registry, mean age 81.7 ± 6.2 years, mean logistic EUROscore 20.6 ± 13.7%. Stratified by aortic valve calcification: mild (n=67), moderate (n=392), severe (n=906).

Intervention

Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) in patients with severe aortic valve calcification

Comparator

Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) in patients with mild or moderate aortic valve calcification

Outcome

Procedural success and periprocedural/30-day clinical outcomes (death, stroke, myocardial infarction)hard clinical

The extent of aortic valve calcification does not significantly influence procedural success or 30-day clinical outcomes in patients undergoing TAVI.
