The published literature has extensively documented clinical benefit derived from transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) in high-risk patients using self-expanding current-generation transfemoral (TF) transcatheter heart valves (THVs). However, it has also demonstrated apparent shortcomings such as paravalvular leakage (PVL) or need for permanent pacemaker (PM) implantation. We here present a case-matched analysis of acute 30-day outcomes using a novel nitinol-based THV (Symetis Acurate Neo TF™), which may overcome some limitations of currently used devices.
