Our results reiterate the safety and feasibility of ViV-TAVI for failed aortic BP valves in patients deemed to be at high risk for surgery. VIV-TAVI was associated with lower risk of permanent pacemaker implantation with a trend toward increased risk of paravalvular leak.

Second-generation cryoballoons are associated with a shorter procedure time and fluoroscopy time, along with lower arrhythmia recurrence rates, reflecting higher procedure efficacy when compared to first-generation cryoballoons. However, they are also associated with a higher incidence of transient and persistent phrenic nerve palsies with a non-significant difference in rates of access site complications and pericardial effusion.
