Study summary

In this observational study, the investigators will enroll subjects who underwent TAVR or SAVR more than 3 years ago. Clinical and procedural data from the implant/surgery will be collected, alongside clinical and echocardiographic data from subsequent follow-up visits.

Read the detailed description

There is limited available information on long term TAVR valve function. In this observational study, the investigators will enroll subjects who underwent TAVR or SAVR more than 3 years ago. Clinical and procedural data from the implant/surgery will be collected, alongside clinical and echocardiographic data from subsequent follow-up visits. Up-to-date echocardiography will be performed and analyzed in a Core Lab to assess valve function yearly.

Study population

This observational study will enroll subjects that underwent TAVR more than 3 years ago. TAVR.

Historical controls will be selected from among patients at the same site who underwent isolated bioprosthetic SAVR more than 3 years ago

Eligibility criteria

Inclusion criteria for TAVR subjects

a) TAVR performed more than 3 years ago

Exclusion criteria

  1. Subjects unable to consent to participate, unless the subject has a legally authorized representative
  2. Subjects unwilling to participate
  3. Subject has undergone re-intervention to prosthetic aortic valve since TAVR procedure (e.g. balloon valvuloplasty, SAVR, re-do TAVR, paravalvular leak closure)
  4. Echocardiographic evidence of prosthetic valve dysfunction within first 3 years post-TAVR (mean aortic gradient ≥20mmHg AND/OR moderate-severe transvalvular aortic regurgitation)

Inclusion criteria for SAVR subjects

  1. SAVR performed more than 3 years ago
  2. Propensity matched to an enrolled TAVR subject

Exclusion criteria for SAVR subjects e) Subjects unable to consent to participate, unless the subject has a legally authorized representative f) Subjects unwilling to participate g) Subject has undergone re-intervention to prosthetic aortic valve since TAVR procedure (e.g. balloon valvuloplasty, SAVR, re-do TAVR, paravalvular leak closure) h) Echocardiographic evidence of prosthetic valve dysfunction within first 3 years post-SAVR (mean aortic gradient ≥20mmHg AND/OR moderate-severe transvalvular aortic regurgitation)
