A AB BS ST TR RA AC CT T O Ob bj je ec ct ti iv ve e: : The aim of this study was to compare the procedural, 30-day, and one-year follow-up Valve Academic Research Consortium-2 (VARC-2) defined outcomes using either the LOTUS valve or the conventional the SAPIEN XT valve. M Ma at te er ri ia al l a an nd d M Me et th ho od ds s: : 50 patients (25 with LOTUS and 25 with SAPIEN XT) with severe symptomatic aortic stenosis undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) were included in this study. We evaluated the procedural outcomes, early safety, and clinical efficacy endpoints of patients who were treated with the LOTUS or the SAPIEN XT valve delivered via the transfemoral route. R Re es su ul lt ts s: : Accordingly, the Valve Academic Research Consortium-2-defined safety endpoints within 30 days and combined efficacy endpoints at one-year follow-up were the same in both groups (p=0.569, p=0.529, respectively). The need for permanent pacemaker implantation in the LOTUS group was higher than in the SAPIEN XT group at 30 days (20% vs. 8%, p=0.221, respectively) and at one-year (24.0% vs. 16%, p=0.480, respectively). Echocardiography upon discharge demonstrated that trivial or mild paravalvular leakage in SAPIEN XT patients was significantly higher than in LOTUS patients (52% vs. 24%, p=0.041, respectively). Moderate or severe paravalvular leakage was observed in only one patient in a SAPIEN group. C Co on nc cl lu us si io on n: : 30 days and one-year follow-up results according to Valve Academic Research Consortium-2 were similar in both groups. The permanent pacemaker rate was higher in LOTUS group despite an insignificant difference between the groups. LOTUS was associated significantly lower rate of trivial or mild paravalvular leakage compared with the SAPIEN XT. TAVI with LOTUS valve was associated with no moderate or severe paravalvular leakage and a low rate of mild paravalvular leakage.

G Ge er re eç ç v ve e Y Yö ön nt te em ml le er r: : Transkateter aort kapak implantasyonu (TAVİ) uygulanan şiddetli semptomatik aort darlıklı 50 hasta (25 LOTUS ve 25 SAPIEN) bu çalışmaya dahil edildi. LOTUS veya SAPIEN XT kapak ile transfemoral TAVİ uygulanan hastalarda prosedürel, erken güvenlik ve klinik etkinlik sonlanım sonuçları değerlendirildi. B Bu ul lg gu ul la ar r: : "Valve Academic Research Consortium-2" kriterlerine göre, 30 günde güvenlik ve 1 yıllık klinik etkinlik sonlanım noktalarında iki grup arasında fark saptanmadı (p=0,569, p=0,529, sırasıyla). Kalıcı pil gereksinimi LOTUS kapakta, SAPIEN XT kapağa göre 30 gün (%20 vs. %8, p=0,221, sırasıyla) ve 1 yıllık (%24,0 vs. %16, p=0,480, sırasıyla) takiplerde daha fazla gözlendi.
