| Description: |
Background Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) procedures show some fundamental differences, depending on the use of balloon-expandable (BEV) or self-expanding (SEV) devices. We aimed to assess, how it translates into contrast use and radiation exposure. Methods From five high volume European centers consecutive patients were included, who underwent transfemoral TAVI procedure. Patient- and procedural characteristics were recorded and compared in relation to the used TAVI device. Results In total 3131 patients were included. 53% were male and the mean age was 80±9 years. 1273 (41%) patients were treated with BEV, while 1858 (59%) with a SEV system. Patients, receiving SEV were older (81±9 vs 79±9 years, respectively; p |
