Transcatheter aortic valve implantation in patients with extra-small aortic annuli.

ABSTRACT:

Background

A small aortic annulus (SAA) is a risk factor for prosthesis-patient mismatch (PPM) in patients undergoing surgical or transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). Data regarding TAVI in patients with extra-SAA are scarce.

Aims

The aim of this study was to analyse the safety and efficacy of TAVI in patients with extra-SAA.

Methods

A multicentre registry study including patients with extra-SAA (defined as an aortic annulus area <280 mm² and/or perimeter <60 mm) undergoing TAVI was established. Primary efficacy and safety endpoints were defined as device success and early safety at 30 days, respectively, using the Valve Academic Research Consortium-3 criteria, and were analysed according to valve type: self-expanding (SEV) versus balloon-expanda
