Progression of the Ascending Aortic Diameter After Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation: Based on Computed Tomography Images.

CONCLUSIONS: TAVI could prevent a further progression of aortic diameter for both BAV or TAV patients by correcting hemodynamic derangements, especially for patients with TAV, mild aortic dilation, and small annulus angles. Aortic events appeared rarely during long-term follow-up after TAVI. However, our results need further confirmation with future investigations in a larger population with longer-term follow-up.
