Key result
Percutaneous aortic valve replacement was successful in 95.2% of high-risk patients with severe aortic stenosis, reducing peak transvalvular gradient from 82 to 12 mm Hg (p<0.001).
Why the study?
Does percutaneous aortic valve replacement improve hemodynamics in patients with severe aortic stenosis and high surgical risk?
Observational (n=21)
Yes
Does percutaneous aortic valve replacement improve hemodynamics in patients with severe aortic stenosis and high surgical risk?
Percutaneous aortic valve replacement with a self-expanding prosthesis is feasible and effectively reduces transvalvular gradients in high-risk patients with severe aortic stenosis, though pacemaker implantation rates are notable.

Supports hemodynamic relief with percutaneous valve replacement in high-risk aortic stenosis; leaves open durability and randomized comparisons.
Cura et al. (2011) conducted an observational in Severe symptomatic aortic stenosis (n=21). Percutaneous aortic valve replacement (CoreValve) was evaluated on Procedure success. Percutaneous aortic valve replacement was successful in 95.2% of high-risk patients with severe aortic stenosis, reducing peak transvalvular gradient from 82 to 12 mm Hg (p<0.001).
