TAVR System Shows Durable Clinical Outcomes, Strong Valve Performance in Low-Risk Aortic Stenosis Patients

DAIC

Data shows, versus surgery, the Evolut transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) system delivers a numerically lower rate of all-cause mortality or disabling stroke at five years, strong valve performance and durable clinical outcomes.

Evolut Low Risk: TAVR Noninferior to SAVR at 5-Year Follow-Up

American College of Cardiology

Patients with severe aortic stenosis who were treated with either TAVR or surgery had comparable rates of all-cause mortality or disabling stroke at five years, according to research presented during a Late-Breaking Clinical Trial session at ACC.25 25 in Chicago and simultaneously published in JACC.

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. The findings showed a strong economic benefit of Evolut TAVR for low-risk patients from a U.S.

Stroke PROTECTion With SEntinel During Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement

American College of Cardiology

The goal of the PROTECTED TAVR trial was to evaluate the efficacy of intraprocedural cerebral embolic protection (CEP) in reducing strokes among patients undergoing transfemoral TAVR for aortic stenosis.

Impact of prior coronary artery bypass grafting and coronary lesion complexity on outcomes of transcatheter aortic valve replacement for severe aortic stenosis

Coronary Artery Disease Journal

Objective To investigate the impact of prior coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and coronary lesion complexity on transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) outcomes for aortic stenosis. The CABG SYNTAX score did not influence the prognosis after TAVR. The median CABG SYNTAX score was 16 (interquartile range: 9.0–23),

Transcatheter or Surgical Aortic Valve Replacement in Patients with Severe Aortic Stenosis and Small Aortic Annulus: A Randomized Clinical Trial

Circulation

Background:The optimal treatment in patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS) and small aortic annulus (SAA) remains to be determined. Participants were 151 patients with severe AS and SAA (mean diameter <23 mm) were randomized (1:1) to TAVR (n=77) vs SAVR (n=74), The primary outcome was impaired valve hemodynamics (i.e.
