Background: This study aimed to compare long-term clinical outcomes in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) with self-expanding (SEV) valve versus balloon-expandable valve (BEV), with a minimum follow-up period of 5 years.
Materials and Methods: Utilizing a prospectively maintained database, this observational study identified patients who underwent TAVI using either SEV or BEV for severe aortic stenosis and were followed for at least 5 years. Clinical outcomes encompassed both 30-day post-TAVI outcomes and long-term outcomes, including all-cause mortality, cardiovascularmortality, structural valve deterioration (SVD), heart failure–related hospitalization, bioprosthetic valve failure, and valve-related hospitalization and complications.
Results: A total of 74 patients were included in this study, with 64 patients in the SEV group and 10 patients in the BEV group. The median follow-up duration was 6.8 years, ranging from5.0 to 10.2 years. Throughout the post-TAVI period, the SEV group consistently demonstrated a lowermean pressure gradient than the BEV group. No significant differences were observed between the 2 groups in terms of short-termor long-termoutcomes. Within the study, 4 patients encounteredmoderate or severe SVD and 1 experienced thrombosis, and no cases of bioprosthetic valve failure or endocarditis were observed.
Conclusions: This study revealed that SEV and BEV demonstrated comparable long-term outcomes in patients undergoing TAVI, including all-cause and cardiovascular mortality, as well as the risk of SVD. |
