Background: Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has proven to be a valuable alternative to conventional surgical aortic valve replacement in patients who suffer from severe symptomatic aortic stenosis. Paravalvular leak (PVL), conduction disorders, and vascular complications still remain relevant procedure-related complications. The aim of this manuscript was to report our experience with ACURATE neo TF system.
Methods: From January 2014 until August 2020 one hundred ninety two (n = 192) patients with severe symptomatic aortic stenosis have been operated using the Acurate Neo Trans Femoral System. Patients were subject to in-hospital evaluation and one year follow-up.
Results: Mean patient age was 80 years; mean EUROscore II was 6.5%. The valve implantation procedure was safely and successfully performed in 99.1% of patients. Two patient needed conversion to aortic valve replacement. In 2.7% of patient vascular access site complication had occur. In-hospital mortality was 2.6%. At 5 year 3.7% of patients had died, 2.1% had disabling strokes, and 5.2% had permanent pacemaker implantations. Mean effective orifice area was 1.8 ± 0.3 cm2, mean gradient was 7 ± 3.1 mm Hg, and greater than mild paravalvular leakage was observed in 7.8% of patients.
Conclusions: Transfemoral implantation of the ACURATE neo prosthesis resulted in favorable 5-year clinical and echocardiographic outcomes with very low mortality and new pacemaker rates.
