Popis: Previous studies into the effect of a reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (EF) on the short- and long-term prognosis of patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) have reported conflicting findings. We analysed data from the Karlsruhe TAVI registry with the aim of addressing this question.Patients with aortic stenosis undergoing TAVI were divided into sub-groups according to EF: severely reduced (30%; n = 109), reduced (≥30 and ≤40%; n = 201), and mid-range/preserved (40%; n = 1690). VARC complications at 30 days for the population with severely reduced EF did not differ in comparison to the patients with mid-range/preserved EF. Patients with severely reduced EF had a significantly lower survival at 48 h (91.7 vs. 99.0%; p 0.001), at 30 days (84.4 vs. 95.8%; p 0.001) and at 1 year (66.1 vs. 85.0%, p 0.001) compared to those with mid-range/preserved EF. The risk of death increased with age, peripheral arterial disease, poor self-care and chronic renal failure in patients with severely reduced EF.Mortality post-TAVI was higher for patients with a reduced EF, although the excess comorbidity burden likely contributed to this. A reduced EF should not be considered a contraindication for TAVI per se, but the additional presence of comorbidity indicates increased risk for these patients.
