Objective To compare the efficacy and safety of Venus A-Valve and other overseas devices in transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) for patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS).Methods We retrospectively analyzed the baseline characteristics, procedural details, and postprocedural outcomes of severe AS patients who underwent TAVR with Venus A-Valve or overseas devices between April 2012 and January 2019 in West China Hospital of Sichuan University.Results A total of 342 AS patients undergoing TAVR were finally included, 238 with Venus A-Valve and the other 104 with overseas devices (43 with CoreValve, 33 with Lotus, 21 with SAPIEN XT, and 7 with SAPIEN 3). Baseline characteristics were comparable between the two groups, and the proportion of patients with bicuspid aortic valve was around 50% in both groups. After successful valve implantation, all patients’ hemodynamics were significantly improved, with the median of maximum velocity decreased to 2.30 m/s (inter-quartile range: 0.60 m/s) and 2.50 m/s (inter-quartile range: 0.62 m/s), respectively (P=0.003). Postprocedural 30-day and 1-year all cause mortalities were similar (30-day: 5.9% vs. 1.9%, P=0.086; 1-year: 8.4% vs. 5.8%, P=0.307), while low incidence of procedure-related complications and improved life quality were achieved in both groups.Conclusion TAVR with the domestic Venus A-Valve is feasible, safe, and can produce favorable outcomes for AS patients, and especially for Chinese TAVR population with a high prevalence of bicuspid aortic valve.
