Long-Term Durability of Transcatheter Aortic Valves in Patients With Bicuspid Aortic Stenosis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Data concerning the long-term durability of transcatheter aortic valves (TAVs) in patients with bicuspid aortic stenosis (AS) are lacking.

Aims

The study aims to report data on long-term valve durability following transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) in bicuspid AS.

Methods

This multicentre registry included patients who underwent TAVR for bicuspid AS with at least 2-year echocardiographic follow-up. The incidence of structural valve deterioration (SVD), bioprosthetic valve dysfunction (BVD), and bioprosthetic valve failure (BVF) was determined according to Valve Academic Research Consortium (VARC)-3 criteria.

Results

Among 894 patients (mean age: 75.6 years; 39% female), the median echocardiographic follow-up was 48.7 months with a 5-year c
