Background: Estimation of long-term risk for cardiovascular events using the SMART (Secondary Manifestations of Arterial Disease) risk score can be potentially valuable in devising risk mitigation strategies.
Objectives: The objective of this study was to apply the SMART risk score to compute the risk for major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in the U.S.
Importance: Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is an established treatment option for many patients with severe symptomatic aortic stenosis; however, debris dislodged during the procedure can cause embolic stroke. The Sentinel cerebral embolic protection (CEP) device is approved for capture and removal of embolic material during TAVR but its efficacy has been debated.
Objective: To explore regional differences in the association of CEP utilization with stroke outcomes in patients undergoing TAVR.
Data on the long-term outcomes of prosthesis patient mismatch (PPM) after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) remain controversial. This study aimed to investigate the incidence and clinical outcomes of measured PPM (PPM) and predicted PPM (PPM) in patients who underwent TAVI. This is a retrospective analysis of 3,016 patients who underwent TAVI at a large health care system between 2012 and 2021.

The impact of these modifications has not been clinically evaluated.
Methods: Procedural information was collected by survey in 2 Stages: Stage I comprised 23 centers with extensive experience with Evolut TAV systems, and Stage II comprised an additional 46 centers with a broad range of balloon- and self-expanding system experience.
