Prosthesis Infolding Incidence And Short-Term Outcomes In TAVI Using Evolut Self-Expandable Device: A Multicenter Study

Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is an established treatment strategy in aortic valve disease. Infolding, as a non-uniform expansion of the prosthesis leading to introflection of part of the device circumference, is a complication specific to self-expandable prostheses. The aim of the study is to determine incidence, predictors, treatment strategy and outcomes of infolding during Medtronic ™ Evolut TAVI. Between January 2018 and March 2022 all patients treated with Evolut TAVI were included in a multicenter observational retrospective study.
