SMART trial reaffirms hemodynamic superiority of TAVR self-expanding valve in aortic stenosis patients with a small ... - EurekAlert
Additional analysis from the SMall Annuli Randomized To Evolut or SAPIEN (SMART) study demonstrated clinical non-inferiority of self-expanding valves (SEV) versus balloon-expandable valves (BEV) in aortic stenosis patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) and confirmed valve performance superiority over time based on hemodynamics. Data also showed similar positive results in two age groups (< or ≥ 80 years old). The late-breaking results were presented today at the Society for Cardiovascular Angiography & Interventions (SCAI) 2024 Scientific Sessions.
