Abstract Background. Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) continues to evolve, with rapid adoption of iterative changes for commercial practice. This analysis compared the outcomes of commercial TAVR with the new repositionable Evolut TM R platform to those observed with the CoreValve TM platform in the STS/ACC Transcatheter Valve Therapy (TVT) Registry TM . Methods. Patients in the STS/ACC TVT Registry TM who had TAVR for native aortic stenosis using a 23, 26, or 29 mm Medtronic self-expanding prosthesis (CoreValve TAV or Evolut R TAV) were included in this analysis. Site-reported events for acute, in-hospital, and 30-day outcomes were examined. Results. Between Jan 2014 and April 2016, 9,616 patients underwent TAVR with a Medtronic self-expanding prosthesis in the U.S and were reported in the STS/ACC TVT Registry TM . Compared to patients treated with CoreValve TAV, those who received Evolut R TAV were slightly younger (81.2 ± 8.0 yrs vs. 81.6 ± 8.1 yrs; p=0.02), had lower STS-PROM (8.0 ± 5.4% vs. 8.7 ± 5.3%; p<0.001) and a greater use of ilio-femoral access (91.6% vs. 89.0%; p<0.001). With Evolut R TAV, there was a lower acute need for a second prosthesis [2.2% vs. 4.5%; p<0.001], less device migration (0.2% vs. 0.6%; p=0.01), a lower incidence of moderate or severe paravalvular regurgitation (4.4% vs. 6.2%; p<0.001), and shorter length of hospital stay (median, 4.0 vs. 5.0 days; p<0.001). Overall, patients treated with Evolut R TAV had a greater frequency of acute device success (96.3% vs. 94.9%; p=0.001). At 30-day follow-up, major vascular complications and residual aortic gradients after TAVR were low in both groups [7.7 mmHg vs. 7.3 mmHg; p<0.001], while all-cause mortality and the need for permanent pacemaker was lower for those who received Evolut R. Conclusions . The commercial adoption of TAVR with the Evolut R platform is associated with significant clinical improvements in the acute procedural outcomes for patients undergoing TAVR for aortic stenosis.

Background • Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) remains a rapidly evolving therapy. • Continued examination of adoption of iterative changes into commercial practice is needed. TCT 2016 3
Study Aim • To compare the outcomes of commercial TAVR with the new repositionable Evolut R platform to those observed with the CoreValve platform in the STS/ACC Transcatheter Valve Therapy (TVT) Registry TM . TCT 2016 4
Methods • Between Jan 2014 and April 2016, 9,616 patients underwent commercial TAVR for treatment of native aortic valve stenosis using a 23, 26, or 29 mm Medtronic self-expanding prosthesis. • Site-reported events for acute, in-hospital, and 30-day outcomes as reported in the STS/ACC TVT Registry TM were examined. • Comparisons of outcome were performed for valve platform (CoreValve TAV or Evolut R TAV) and valve size (23 mm vs. 26 mm vs. 29 mm). • Statistical significance was set a priori at p<0.05. Due to the large sample sizes, a statistical difference may be detected even though the difference is not clinically significant. TCT 2016 5

Conclusions • The use of Evolut R is associated with significant clinical improvements in acute procedural outcomes for patients undergoing TAVR for aortic stenosis. • These improvements include lower procedural mortality, greater use of transfemoral access, shorter hospital stay, and less paravalvular regurgitation. • These findings demonstrate that adoption of Evolut R, in the context of continued improvements in TAVR practice, has been of significant clinical benefit for patients with severe, native aortic valve stenosis.
