Paradoxical clinical outcomes of severe versus very severe aortic valve stenosis after transcatheter aortic valve implantation? a propensity score matched analysis and review of literature
Our analysis confirms - in line with previous studies - that patients with VSAS represent a substantial subgroup and have at least as favourable or - paradoxically -even better clinical results after TAVI compared to patients with SAS. Therefore, TAVI should not be withheld from these patients.
