Table 3. Procedural characteristics according to leaflet position and mechanism of valve expansion.
Characteristic | Overall (n=1,378) | Supra-annular valve (n=920) | Intra-annular valve (n=458) | p-value (supra-annular vs intra-annular) | Self-expanding valve (n=1,092) | Balloon-expandable valve (n=286) | p-value (self-expanding vs balloon-expandable) |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Valve size 25 mm or less | 52.2 (719) | 30.8 (283) | 95.2 (436) | <0.001 | 39.9 (436) | 98.9 (283) | <0.001 |
Oversizing by perimeter | 15.0±8.7 | 17.5±7.2 | 11.2±9.9 | <0.001 | 17.0±7.1 | 9.5±11.4 | <0.001 |

Oversizing by area | 36.9±21.2 | 45.5±18.4 | 22.0±17.3 | <0.001 | 44.4±17.7 | 11.9±10.8 | <0.001 |

Predilation | 41.9 (573) | 39.5 (361) | 46.9 (212) | 0.009 | 44.3 (481) | 32.9 (92) | 0.001 |
Post-dilation | 27.8 (380) | 31.9 (292) | 19.6 (88) | <0.001 | 32.9 (357) | 8.2 (23) | <0.001 |
Annular rupture | 0.3 (4) | 0.2 (2) | 0.4 (2) | 0.548 | 0.3 (3) | 0.3 (1) | 0.909 |
Values are mean±standard deviation or % (n). The values in bold represent differences between groups with p<0.100. Oversizing ≥15% refers to oversizing by perimeter ≥15% for self-expanding valves and oversizing by area ≥15% for balloon-expandable valves. |
