Risk of mortality following transcatheter aortic valve replacement for low-flow low-gradient aortic stenosis

ConclusionIn patients with LF-LG AS, history of myocardial infarction, renal dysfunction, tricuspid regurgitation, a low stroke volume index, self-expandable device, and non-femoral approach were associated with increased 1-year mortality after TAVR. The RRS might serve as a helpful tool for risk prediction and patient selection for TAVR in patients with LF-LG AS.
