Data are % (n), reported for the ITT population (N = 500). Component of VARC-2 composite endpoint for early safety at 30 days. Includes valve migration, valve embolization, ectopic valve deployment; Two patients were treated with a repeat procedure after 30 days. In one patient, the 30-day follow-up TEE revealed reduced LVEF with persistent moderate PVL; balloon valvuloplasty was performed but did not improve aortic valve insufficiency, and patient underwent SAVR. One patient experienced endocarditis and associated dissection of the ascending aorta on day 89 post-TAVI; SAVR was performed to replace the ACURATE neo valve.
