Transcatheter and surgical aortic valve replacement in patients with left ventricular dysfunction.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Patients with severe aortic stenosis and left ventricular systolic dysfunction have a poor prognosis, and this may result in inferior survival also after aortic valve replacement. The outcomes of transcatheter and surgical aortic valve replacement were investigated in this comparative analysis.

Methods

The retrospective nationwide FinnValve registry included data on patients who underwent transcatheter or surgical aortic valve replacement with a bioprosthesis for severe aortic stenosis. Propensity score matching was performed to adjust the outcomes for baseline covariates of patients with reduced (≤ 50%) left ventricular ejection fraction.

Results

Within the unselected, consecutive 6463 patients included in the registry, the prevalence of reduced ejection f
