ter versus Surgical AorticValve Replacement in HighRisk Patients. N Engl J Med, 2023. 364(23): p. 218798. Key Exclusion Criteria ? Aortic annulus diameter (echo measurement) 18 mm or 25 mm ? Iliacfemoral anatomy precluding safe sheath insertion ? Severe LV dysfunction (LVEF 20%) ? Untreated CAD requiring revascularization Anatomic: ? Serum Cr mg/dL or dialysis dependent ? Acute MI within 1 month ? CVA or TIA within 6 months ? Hemodynamic instability Clinical: Study Devices Edwards SAPIEN THV 23 and 26 mm valves RetroFlex 22 and 24 F sheaths Ascendra 24 and 26 F sheaths Transfemoral Transapical Enrolling Study Sites Intermountain Medical Center Salt Lake City, UT Emory University Atlanta, GA Univ. of Miami Miami, FL Univ. of Virginia Charlottesville, VA St. Luke’s Hospital Kansas City, MO BarnesJewish Hospital St. Louis, MO Medical City Dallas Dallas, TX St. Paul39。s Hospital Vancouver, Canada Univ. of Washington Seattle, WA Mayo Clinic Rochester, MN Stanford University Palo Alto, CA Hospital Laval Quebec City, Canada Ochsner Foundation New Orleans, LA Scripps Clinic La Jolla, CA CedarsSinai Medical Center Los Angeles, CA Cleveland Clinic Cleveland, OH Columbia University Cornell University New York, NY Washington Hosp.

Event rates as KaplanMeier estimates, with groups pared by logrank over the length of followup ? Composite analyses prespecified ? Effect of baseline variables on 3yr mortality studied with Cox proportional hazards regression (multivariable analysis with covariates pvalue ) ?
