STRAIN ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY PREDICTS DIFFERENCES IN OUTCOMES BETWEEN TRANSAPICAL AND TRANSFEMORAL TRANSCATHETER AORTIC VALVE REPLACEMENT

Studies showed worse outcomes after transapical (TA) versus transfemoral (TF) transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), possibly due to comorbidities differences. We sought to compare the approaches in a matched cohort and determine if strain echocardiography detects outcomes difference A 104
