The PARTNER 2A Trial Conclusions
In intermediate-risk patients with symptomatic severe
aortic stenosis, results from the PARTNER 2A trial
demonstrated that...
• TAVR using SAPIEN XT and surgery were similar
(non-inferior) for the primary endpoint (all-cause mortality
or disabling stroke) at 2 years.
• In the transfemoral subgroup (76% of patients), TAVR
using SAPIEN XT significantly reduced all-cause
mortality or disabling stroke vs. surgery (ITT: p = 0.05,
AT: p = 0.04).

• TAVR had significantly less 30 day stroke, AKI, atrial fibrillation and transfusion use and a superior quality of life at 30 days.
• SAVR had less residual aortic regurgitation, major vascular complications and fewer new pacemakers.
• Need for a new pacemaker after TAVR was not associated with increased mortality.
Summary
• SURTAVI met its primary endpoint demonstrating that TAVR with a self-expanding CoreValve or Evolut R bioprosthesis is noninferior to SAVR for all-cause mortality or disabling stroke at 24 months.

- Study investigating the use of CT scan to reveal «subclinical leaflet thrombosis» by finding a reduced leaflet motion in patients who underwent TAVI.
- Data obtained from the Portico IDE Trial and Resolve and Savory registries.
- Reduced leaf let motion was noted on CT in 22 of 55 patients (40%) in the clinical trial and in 17 of 132 patients (13%) in the two registries.
- Therapeutic anticoagulation with warfarin, as compared with dual antiplatelet therapy, was associated with a decreased incidence of reduced leaf let motion (0% and 55%, respectively, P=0.01 in the clinical trial; and 0% and 29%, respectively, P=0.04 in the pooled registries.

• Differences in TAVR and SAVR
• Impact of novel-oral anticoagulants (NOACs)
• Impact on valve hemodynamics
• Impact on clinical outcomes

We do not have reliable data yet…

Circ Cardiovasc Interv. 2016
- Observational, prospective multicenter study;
- Consecutive pts entolled in 93 centers (between Dec2010 - Jun2012)
- Low risk pts defined as Logistic Euroscore II <4%.
- Primary Endpoint: 3-years survival; Secondary endpoint: 30-day mortality, in-hospital adverse events (stroke, vascular complications, severe bleeding and AKI)
- Both self-explandable (CoreValve) & balloon-expandable (Sapien XT)

1) Definition of “intermediate risk” patients and understanding the concept of “frailty”
2) Who may rather be a surgical candiadate
3) When TAVI is “futile”
