BackgroundWhile there is evidence that patients with low-flow, low-gradient aortic stenosis (AS) benefit from transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), data are lacking regarding outcomes of patients with a very low gradient (VLG).MethodsIn this retrospective, single-center study of patients with severe AS who underwent TAVR, three groups were defined using baseline mean aortic valve gradient: VLG (≤25 mmHg), low gradient (LG, 26–39 mmHg), and high gradient (HG, ≥40 mmHg). The primary outcome was the composite of Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ)-12 of |
