In the nonblinded, single-arm ALIGN AR trial, Thourani and colleagues analyzed 30-day safety data from 180 adults with symptomatic moderate to severe aortic regurgitation ( 3+) at high surgical risk.
Of the patients in the study, 30% did not have aortic regurgitation after TAVR, 50% had trivial aortic regurgitation, 17% had mild aortic regurgitation and 2.5% had moderate aortic regurgitation.
All patients had moderate to severe symptomatic aortic regurgitation and underwent TAVR with the Trilogy valve. To date, about 360 patients have at least one year of follow-up after their ...
