Impact of body mass index on outcomes in patients undergoing transfemoral transcatheter aortic valve implantation.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

This study sought to investigate the effect of body mass index on outcomes in patients with severe aortic valve stenosis undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation.

Methods

A total of 12,381 patients undergoing transfemoral transcatheter aortic valve implantation were divided into body mass index categories: underweight (<18.5 kg/m²), normal weight (18.5-24.9 kg/m²), overweight (25.0-29.9 kg/m²), and obesity (>30 kg/m²). Primary endpoints were differences in 30-day and 1-year all-cause mortality. Secondary endpoints included all other clinical endpoints such as stroke. Univariate and multivariate odds ratios were calculated using logistic and cox regression analyses.

Results

Two percent (n = 205) of patient
