Long-Term Outcome of Covered Stent Implantation for Management of Iliofemoral Vascular Complications in Patients Undergoing Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Covered stent implantation has become a common approach for management of iliofemoral vascular complications in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), but the long-term outcomes associated with this approach are unknown. The aims of the study were 1) to evaluate the incidence and indication for covered stent placement in patients undergoing TAVR, 2) to assess long-term clinical outcomes after covered stent placement, and 3) to describe the performance of covered stents over long-term follow-up as assessed by Doppler ultrasonography.

Methods

Retrospective cohort study of patients undergoing iliofemoral covered stent implantation at the time of TAVR in a single high-volume UK center.

Results

1277 patients underwent transfemoral TAV
