Should not yet change TAVR device selection; leaves open need for randomized comparisons of Portico outcomes.
Does transcatheter aortic valve replacement with the Portico valve provide satisfactory clinical and hemodynamic outcomes in patients requiring aortic valve replacement?
TAVR with the self-expanding, repositionable Portico valve demonstrated satisfactory short- and medium-term clinical and hemodynamic outcomes in an early Canadian cohort.
Perlman et al. (2017) studied this question.
