Three-year outcomes of transcatheter aortic valve implantation for bicuspid versus tricuspid aortic stenosis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) might be a feasible treatment option for more patients with bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) stenosis. However, long-term follow-up data in this population are scarce.

Aims

The aim of this study was to evaluate three-year outcomes after TAVI in patients with BAV.

Methods

A total of 246 consecutive patients who underwent TAVI at a single centre in China between March 2013 and February 2018 were enrolled in this study. Clinical outcomes, health status and echocardiography were followed and recorded for three years.

Results

Among 109 (44.3%) BAV patients, 61.5% were Type 0 and 36.7% were Type 1 BAV patients. BAV patients were younger (75 vs 77 years, p=0.041) and had a lower Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS) sc
