1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundTranscatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) in bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) anatomy remains challenging due to anatomical complexity and limited trial data. New-generation balloon-expandable valves, such as Myval, require further evaluation in this subgroup.

aimsTo report 1-year VARC-3 outcomes following TAVI procedure with the Myval transcatheter heart valve (THV) in BAV anatomy.

methodsFrom December 2019 to July 2023, 52 consecutive BAV patients at moderate-to-high surgical risk or deemed unsuitable for surgery underwent TAVI with the Myval THV. Outcomes, assessed per VARC-3 definitions, were compared to 217 trileaflet aortic valve (TAV) patients in unmatched and propensity score-matched cohorts.

resultsAt 1 year, BAV and TAV patients showed no significant differences in all-cause mortality (3.9% vs. 10.2%, p = 0.185), cardiac mortality (0% vs. 2.3%, p = 0.587), or stroke (3.9% vs. 2.8%, p = 0.654) regarding an unmatched comparison. In the matched analysis, all-cause mortality and stroke were 3.9% and 1.9%, respectively, with no cardiac deaths. Endocarditis was rare (1.9% vs. 1.4%, p = 0.579); no valve thrombosis occurred. At 1 year, 94% of matched patients were in NYHA class I. Echocardiographic parameters remained stable; no moderate/severe paravalvular regurgitation was observed in BAV patients. Kaplan-Meier analysis revealed no differences in survival or composite outcomes. Technical and device success rates exceeded 95%; early safety was limited by a high incidence of non-vascular type 2-4 bleeding events. Based on the analyses, the relatively high postprocedural PPI rate (unmatched BAV vs. TAV: 34.0% vs. 30.4%, p = 0.429; matched: 34.0% vs. 24.0%, p = 0.274) is more likely attributable to patient-related characteristics rather than device-related complications, and remained unchanged following hospital discharge.

conclusionsTAVI with the Myval THV in real-world BAV patients is safe and effective with excellent hemodynamic performance at 1 year follow-up. This may reinforce the use of this device in this anatomically complex population.
