Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation in Japanese Patients With Large Annulus: The OCEAN-TAVI Registry.

ABSTRACT:

Background

East Asians have smaller aortic valve complexes than individuals from Western countries, and few studies have reported transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) outcomes in Asian patients with a large annulus.

Objectives

This study aimed to compare the short- and long-term outcomes of TAVI using balloon-expandable valves (BEVs) and self-expandable valves (SEVs) in Asian patients with a large annulus.

Methods

The study retrospectively analyzed the data from the OCEAN-TAVI (Optimized Transcatheter Valvular Intervention Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation) registry. A large annulus was defined by an annular area ≥500 mm² and an average diameter ≥25 mm as measured by computed tomography. The primary endpoint was 3-year all-cause mortality. S
