Abstract
Objective: This study sought to investigate the effect of body mass index on outcomes in patients with severe aortic valve stenosis undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation. Methods: ). Primary endpoints were differences in 30-day and 1-year all-cause mortality. Secondary endpoints included all other clinical endpoints such as stroke. Univariate and multivariate odds ratios were calculated using logistic and cox regression analyses. Results: = .011). Stroke rates were comparable between body mass index groups. Conclusions: For overweight and obese patients with severe aortic valve stenosis undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation, there was no 30-day difference in mortality compared with patients with normal weight. However, underweight patients showed higher rates of 1-year mortality after transcatheter aortic valve implantation.
