Feasibility and outcome of third-generation transcatheter aortic valve implantation in patients with extra-large aortic annulus

ConclusionTreatment of ELA patients with third-generation TAVI prostheses is feasible and safe, providing similar device success and complication rates as in matched controls with regular-sized aortic annulus. Post-interventional pacemaker implantation rates were low compared to the control group, yet incidence of moderate PVL remains problematic in ELA patients.
