Outcomes Following Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement for Aortic Stenosis in Patients With Type 0 Bicuspid, Type 1 Bicuspid, and Tricuspid Aortic Valves

Circulation: Cardiovascular Interventions

BACKGROUND:Data concerning the outcomes of transcatheter aortic valve replacement in type 0 bicuspid aortic stenosis (AS) are scarce. Self-expanding transcatheter heart valves were used in the majority of patients (n=1160; 91.4%). Poverall=0.099) and all stroke (30 days: 1.0% Poverall=0.765; 1 year: 1.4%

New Late-breaking Data from Medtronic Evolut Low Risk Trial Demonstrate Strong Clinical and Cost-effectiveness Benefits of TAVR Platform

DAIC

A cost-effectiveness analysis demonstrates the positive economic value of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) using Evolut TAVR compared to surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) for low-risk patients. In this contemporary analysis, all-cause mortality or disabling stroke rates at four years were 10.7%
