Search for: [Abstract = "revious PCI.A higher contrast load, radiation dose and longer fluoroscopy time in patients with concomitant PCI or coronary angiography were noted. No higher risk of complications after BAV performed with concomitant coronary angiography\/PCI was observed. In spite of no difference in in\-hospital mortality \(5.6% vs. 8.9%\; p=0.76\), patients with BAV and concomitant PCI had lower long\-term mortality than patients with BAV and concomitant coronary angiography \(28.5% vs.51.0%\; p=0.03\). In multivariable Cox analysis adjusted for age, sex and body mass index, the STS Risk of Mortality score was identifiedas the only independent predictor of long\-term mortality for all patients \(HR 1.09, 95% CI 1.04\-1.15\; p=0.0006\).In the third analysis, balloon PD after TAVI was performed in 23\(22.8%\) patients. In 95.6%, post\-implantation PVL reduction was successful \(no or mild PVL\). PD increased ARI from 23.4% \(22.4–24.0\) to 27.1% \(26.1–28.3\)\; p < 0.001. Thirty\-day mortality rate was14.1% in the PD \(–\) group vs. 0.0% in the PD \(\+\) group\; p=0.07. One\-year mortality \(21.8% vs. 4.3%\; p=0.97\) and procedural stroke rate\(7.7% vs. 8.7%\; p=0.99\) were not different between the groups. \; Conclusions BAV is a useful procedure in high\-risk severe AS patients, nevertheless limited by poor long\-term outcomes. Limitations concern intermittent improvement of symptoms, echocardiographic and hemodynamic parameters. H"]
