Circulation: Cardiovascular Interventions

BACKGROUND:Data concerning the outcomes of transcatheter aortic valve replacement in type 0 bicuspid aortic stenosis (AS) are scarce. Poverall=NS) were nonsignificant, and the incidence of overall in-hospital complications was comparable among groups. In the matched population, differences in mortality (30 days: 4.2% 2.44];P=0.035).
