Data on whether different transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) devices and delivery approaches can achieve equally favorable outcomes when performed by a single heart team are scarce. We sought to compare the performance and short-term outcomes of three different TAVR devices-self-expanding Medtronic CoreValve (MCV), mechanically expanded Lotus valve, and balloon-expandable Edwards SAPIEN XT (SXT)-for the treatment of severe aortic stenosis (AS) in a single large-volume center in Taiwan.
