Thirty-day outcomes in patients at intermediate risk for surgery from the SAPIEN 3 European approval trial.

CONCLUSIONS: TF-TAVI using the SAPIEN 3 THV in patients at intermediate risk for surgery is associated with a very low risk of death and complications, including new pacemakers and paravalvular leaks. Although compelling, these initial results are being confirmed in larger global studies before expanding the indications for TAVI in severe aortic stenosis. PMID: 27290682 [PubMed - in process]
