Outcomes of Direct Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement Without Balloon Aortic Valvuloplasty Using a New Generation Valve.
We investigated the outcomes of patients who underwent Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) with and without Balloon Aortic Valvuloplasty (BAV) using the SAPIEN 3 (S3) valve. ⋯ TAVR using S3 valves is associated with very low rates of post-TAVR stroke and significant PVL. Outcomes of direct TAVR are similar to the outcomes of TAVR with BAV, without an increased rate of stroke, significant PVL, or balloon post dilation.
