TCT 2024’s Top TAVR Studies

CardiacWire

This year’s TCT conference saw a deluge of TAVR studies examining everything from the efficacy of valve designs to TAVR’s impact on aortic and tricuspid regurgitation. Patients who received early TAVR were 16% less likely to experience MACE and saw better heart function over a median of 3.8

TAVR UNLOAD: Preemptive TAVR Not Superior to CASS in Patients With HFrEF and Moderate AS

American College of Cardiology

Findings from the TAVR UNLOAD trial found preemptive TAVR was not superior to clinical aortic stenosis surveillance (CASS) for the hierarchical occurrence of all-cause death, disabling stroke, disease-related hospitalizations and heart failure equivalents, and change in quality of life among patients with moderate aortic stenosis (AS) and heart failure (..)

Pooled Analysis From RHEIA and PARTNER 3 Compare TAVR vs. SAVR in Women

American College of Cardiology

In women with symptomatic, severe aortic stenosis (AS), TAVR with the balloon-expandable valve was superior to surgical aortic valve replacement in terms of the composite rate of death, stroke and rehospitalization at one-year follow-up, according to a pooled analysis of patient-level data from RHEIA and PARTNER 3 trials presented at TCT 2024.
