    The study compared outcomes of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) and surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) in patients with bicuspid aortic valve stenosis.

  • 2

    A total of 480 patients were included, with 75 undergoing TAVI and 405 undergoing SAVR, showing significant differences in demographics and outcomes.

  • 3

    TAVI was associated with higher mortality, increased pacemaker implantation rates, more paravalvular leaks, and higher heart failure hospitalizations compared to SAVR.

  • 4

    Stroke rates were similar between the TAVI and SAVR groups, indicating no significant difference in this outcome.

  • 5

    Age-matched analyses confirmed that SAVR had better survival and fewer complications than TAVI in patients with bicuspid aortic valve stenosis.
