Balloon-expandable and self-expanding valves provided comparable outcomes in TAVR for patients with left ventricular systolic dysfunction, with no survival difference.
Do balloon-expandable valves compared to self-expanding valves improve procedural and long-term outcomes in patients with left ventricular systolic dysfunction undergoing TAVR?
In patients with LVSD undergoing TAVR, balloon-expandable and self-expanding valves provide comparable survival and procedural outcomes.
Absolute Event Rate: 0% vs 0%
In patients with LVSD undergoing TAVR, BEV and SEV provided comparable procedural and long-term outcomes. Although SEV yielded lower postoperative gradients, valve type did not affect survival. Future studies with larger samples and higher use of new-generation devices are warranted to refine valve selection in this high-risk group.
