Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| All-cause mortality at 30-day and 1-year follow-up. Mortality status (yes/no) and date were obtained from medical records, telephone contact with patients, next kin or their family physicians. Patients were censored at time of death or completion of 1-year follow-up, whichever occurred first. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Interaction between the impact of baseline left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and low gradient aortic stenosis (LGAS) on 30-day and 1-year mortality after TF-TAVI. This interaction will be assessed with Kaplan Meier method and Cox regression analysis. | — |
