Long-term outcomes following transcatheter aortic valve implantation with the Portico self-expanding valve.

ABSTRACT:

Aim

Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is a mainstay in the management of severe aortic valve stenosis in elderly patients, but there is uncertainty on their long-term effectiveness. We aimed to assess the long-term outcome of patients undergoing TAVI with the Portico valve.

Methods

We retrospectively collected the data on patients in whom TAVI with Portico was attempted from 7 high-volume centres. Only patients theoretically eligible for 3 or more years of follow-up were included. Clinical outcomes, including death, stroke, myocardial infarction, reintervention for valve degeneration and hemodynamic valve performance were systematically assessed.

Results

A total of 803 patients were included, with 504 (62.8%) women, mean age of 82 years, median EuroSCORE
