Echocardiographic Results of Transcatheter Versus Surgical Aortic Valve Replacement in Low-Risk Patients: The PARTNER 3 Trial.

Conclusions: In patients with severe AS and low surgical risk, TAVR with the SAPIEN 3 valve was associated with similar percentage of moderate/severe AR compared with SAVR, but higher percentage of mild AR. Transprosthetic gradients, valve areas, percentage of severe PPM, and LV mass regression were similar in TAVR versus SAVR. SAVR was associated with significant deterioration of RV systolic function and greater tricuspid regurgitation, which persisted at 1 year. High Zva and low TAPSE were associated with worse outcome at 1 year whereas AR or severe PPM were not. Clinical Trial Registration: URL: https://clinicaltrials.gov Unique Identifier: NCT02675114.
