Long-Term Outcome with New Generation Prostheses in Patients Undergoing Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement.

ABSTRACT: The aim of this study was to compare patients with transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) receiving new generation prostheses SAPIEN 3 (S3, Edwards Lifesc.) and Evolut R (ER, Medtronic Inc.) in terms of periprocedural and long-term outcome. Our retrospective, single-center analysis included 359 consecutive patients with severe aortic stenosis who underwent TAVR with S3 or ER from 2014-2016 (mean age 82 ± 7 years, 47% male, mean EuroSCORE II 8.0 ± 8%, mean follow-up 3.8 years). Device Success was equal (S3 93.0% vs. ER 92.4%, p = 0.812). We report a 30-day mortality of 2.8% in the S3 group, and 2.1% in the ER group (p = 0.674). There was no difference in stroke, conversion to open surgery, vascular and bleeding complications or myocardial infarction. While prosthesis mean gradients w
