Comparison of in-Hospital Complication Rates After Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement in Patients With Bicuspid Versus Tricuspid Aortic Valves: A Retrospective Cohort Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has become a popular alternative to surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) for patients with valvular heart disease (VHD), particularly for those with aortic anomalies.

Aims

The study aimed to compare the risks of post-TAVR complications between patients with bicuspid and tricuspid aortic valves and to identify associated risk factors.

Methods

The association between complications and valve type (bicuspid or tricuspid) was assessed. The study also explored various combinations of factors to understand their impact on complications. Separate analyses were conducted to identify specific risk factors for each complication.

Results

Out of the 1154 eligible patients, 508 had bicuspid aortic valves (BAV) and
