TCT-144 High Pulmonary Vascular Resistance is Associated with Higher Mortality in Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement Patients with Pulmonary Hypertension

Background Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is common in patients with severe aortic stenosis treated with transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). Conclusion TAVR patients with PH and high PVR have the highest mortality, moreso than those with PH and normal PVR, or without PH. [...]PVR provides ad...
