Economic Outcomes of Transcatheter Versus Surgical Aortic Valve Replacement in Patients with Severe Aortic Stenosis and Low Surgical Risk: Results from the PARTNER 3 Trial
CONCLUSIONS: For patients with severe aortic stenosis and low surgical risk similar to those enrolled in the PARTNER 3 trial, transfemoral TAVR with the SAPIEN 3 valve is cost saving compared with SAVR at 2 years and is projected to be economically attractive in the long run as long as there are no substantial differences in late death between the 2 strategies. Long-term follow-up will be critical to ultimately determine the preferred treatment strategy for low-risk patients from both a clinical and economic perspective.PMID:37154049 | DOI:10.1161/CIRCULATIONAHA.122.062481

Use of Administrative Claims to Assess Outcomes and Treatment Effect in Randomized Clinical Trials for Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement: Findings from the Extending Trial-Based Evaluations of Medical Therapies Using Novel Sources of Data (EXTEND) Study.
Conclusions: In the CoreValve HiR and SURTAVI trials, ascertainment of trial primary endpoints using claims reproduced both the magnitude and direction of treatment effect compared with adjudicated event data, but non-fatal and non-procedural secondary outcomes were not as well reproduced. Use of claims to substitute for adjudicated outcomes in traditional trial treatment comparisons may be valid and feasible for all-cause mortality and certain procedural outcomes, but may be less suitable for other endpoints.

Outcomes of Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement in Patients with Bicuspid Aortic Valve Disease: A Report from the Society of Thoracic Surgeons/American College of Cardiology Transcatheter Valve Therapy Registry.
Conclusions: Using current generation devices, procedural, post-procedural, and 1-year outcomes were comparable following TAVR for bicuspid AV vs. tricuspid AV disease. With newer generation devices, TAVR is a viable treatment option for bicuspid AV patients. PMID: 32098500 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
