A TAVR trial demonstrated that a self-expanding device performs better on multiple prognostically important measures of valve function at 1 year than a balloon-expandable device. The self-expanding valve was also noninferior to the balloon-expandable device on clinical outcomes and superior on bioprosthetic valve dysfunction at 12 months.
The TAVR trial showed that a self-expanding device outperforms a balloon-expandable device in terms of valve function measures at 1 year. The self-expanding valve was noninferior to the balloon-expandable device in terms of clinical outcomes and superior in bioprosthetic valve dysfunction at 12 months. The principal investigator expects better outcomes for those who received the self-expanding device in the future.
The trial had a high percentage of women participants due to the entry criterion of a small aortic valve annulus area. Previous evidence suggests that the self-expanding device is associated with better hemodynamics. The study aimed to test this potential difference in women with small aortic annulus
