Does transcatheter aortic valve implantation improve outcomes in high-risk patients with severe aortic regurgitation?
TAVI with the Core Valve bioprosthesis appears feasible and safe for high-risk patients with severe aortic regurgitation, showing 100% procedural success and no 30-day mortality in a small case series.
Sarkar et al. (2012) conducted an observational in Severe aortic regurgitation in native or degenerated bioprosthetic valves (n=8). Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) with Core Valve bioprosthesis was evaluated on Procedural success. Transcatheter aortic valve implantation achieved 100% procedural success and 0% 30-day mortality in 8 high-risk patients with severe aortic regurgitation.
