Transapical and Transfemoral TAVR, Two Different Patient Populations with Possible Similar Clinical and Cardiac Mechanics Outcomes

Overview

About this study

Compare transapical and transfemoral TAVR as regards clinical outcomes (both beneficial including improvement in heart failure class (NYHA) and reduced number of hospitalizations; and adverse including mortality and MACE.) Also, to compare cardiac mechanics’ outcomes in the short and intermediate follow up and correlate the baseline, percent change and final cardiac mechanics values with the clinical outcomes. So that this all comes down to being able to provide these information to the patients if there appeared to be a correlation between cardiac mechanics and clinical outcomes:
