BackgroundThere is accumulating evidence that up to 20% of the implanted devices after TAVI are associated with a significant degree of paravalvular leaks, which appear to be associated with a negative clinical outcome.MethodsA total of 355 patients with severe aortic valvular stenosis (AVS) were treated by TAVI (Corevalve n=222, Edwards Sapien n=133). Survival, NT-proBNP and the grade of PVL were quantified up to 12 months after implantation.ResultsTechnical success rate was 97.8%. Thirty-day mortality was 9.6%. Post-procedural transvalvular aortic regurgitation was seen only in a minority of cases (5%), whereas PVL were frequently observed (grade:
