Long-term outcome of patients with severe pulmonary hypertension undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Objectives: Recent reports suggest that pulmonary hypertension (PH) is associated with a significantly higher acute mortality after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). The aim of this study is to characterize patients undergoing TAVI with preoperative echocardiographically determined severe PH and to investigate acute clinical and long-term outcomes. Methods: From 2008 to 2021, 3,610 patients with preoperatively documented systolic pulmonary artery pressure (sPAP) underwent TAVI at our institution. The cut off for severe PH was defined as sPAP > 55 mmHg as determined by echocardiography. Severe PH was preoperatively identified in 456 patients. This group was compared to 3,154 patients with sPAP ≤ 55 mmHg. Data were retrospectively analysed according to updated Valve Academic Research Consortium (VARC-3) definitions. Results: TAVI patients with sPAP > 55 mmHg presented with higher median age (sPAP ≤ 55 mmHg: 81.6 years [interquartile range (IQR): 77.2-85.1] vs. sPAP > 55 mmHg: 82.3 (IQR 77.8-85.8), Conclusion: TAVI patients with severe PH represent a high-risk subgroup with unfavourable acute outcomes and increased one-year and long-term mortality. Moreover, the presence of severe PH is associated with increased rates of acute adverse events, including bleeding, need for PPM implantation and renal failure.
