Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is an alternative treatment for surgically high-risk patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS). This study aimed to assess the echocardiographic outcomes of TAVI in patients with severe AS, focusing on left ventricular mass, volume, and pressure.
This retrospective, registry-based, single-center study was conducted at King Salman Heart Center, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. We included 200 adult patients who underwent the TAVI procedure and completed at least one year of clinical and echocardiographic follow-up. Baseline demographic, clinical, and echocardiographic data were collected and paired pre- and post-procedure echocardiographic measurements were analyzed.
Paired analysis in comparison of pre and post-transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) shows significant improvement in left ventricular (LV) mass, volume, and pressure.
This study demonstrates that transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) leads to significant improvement in key echocardiographic parameters such as left ventricular (LV) size, functions, mass, and ejection fractions (EF).
经导管主动脉瓣植入术（TAVI）是外科手术高危的重度主动脉瓣狭窄（AS）患者的一种替代治疗方法。本研究旨在评估TAVI治疗重度AS患者的超声心动图结果，重点关注左心室质量、容积和压力。
本回顾性、基于注册登记的单中心研究在沙特阿拉伯利雅得的国王萨勒曼心脏中心进行。我们纳入了200例接受TAVI手术并完成至少一年临床和超声心动图随访的成年患者。收集了基线人口统计学、临床和超声心动图数据，并分析了术前和术后配对的超声心动图测量值。
经导管主动脉瓣植入术（TAVI）前后的配对分析显示左心室（LV）质量、容积和压力有显著改善。
本研究表明，经导管主动脉瓣植入术（TAVI）可使左心室（LV）大小、功能、质量和射血分数（EF）等关键超声心动图参数得到显著改善。
