Key result
TAVI in patients with critical aortic stenosis resulted in a 6.9% hospital mortality, with no significant difference in 1-year survival between CoreValve, Edwards transfemoral, and Edwards transapical approaches (p>0.05).
Why the study?
Does valve type or surgical access affect mortality in high-risk patients undergoing TAVI for critical aortic stenosis?
Population
130 patients with critical aortic stenosis and comorbidities (high surgical risk)
Design
Cohort
Follow-up
Mean 2.2 years (range 0.2 to 5.2 years)

TAVI outcomes in comorbid aortic stenosis may differ by prosthesis and access; leaves open optimal selection pending randomized comparisons.

Does valve type or surgical access affect mortality in high-risk patients undergoing TAVI for critical aortic stenosis?
Absolute Event Rate: 86.9% vs 88%
p-value: p=>0.05
TAVI provides reasonable 1- and 2-year survival in high-risk patients with critical aortic stenosis, with outcomes independent of the specific valve type or access route used.
Имаев et al. (2016) conducted a cohort in critical aortic stenosis and comorbidities (n=130). Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) vs. Different valve types and surgical access (CoreValve vs Edwards transfemoral vs Edwards transapical) was evaluated on 1-year survival (p=>0.05). TAVI in patients with critical aortic stenosis resulted in a 6.9% hospital mortality, with no significant difference in 1-year survival between CoreValve, Edwards transfemoral, and Edwards transapical approaches (p>0.05).
