2 Faculty/Presenter Disclosure Proctor, EdwardsLifesciences

3 Should TAVI/TAVR be available to any patient or physician that requests it? 1 YES 2 NO 3 Maybe

4 If you were 60, healthy but symptomatic and needed treatment for severe AS? 1 SAVR? 2 TAVI? 3 Medical Therapy? 4 Other?

5

6 Background In PARTNER 1, transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) was superior to standard therapy in patients with symptomatic severe aortic stenosis who were not candidates for surgery AND was equivalent to surgery in highrisk patients.

7 Background (2) However, early operator experiences using first generation TAVR systems resulted in frequent peri-procedural complications. Lower profile second generation TAVR systems have been associated with improved clinical outcomes. Recently, there has been a worldwide trend to extend TAVR therapy to lower-risk patients, but rigorous evidence-based medicine validation is lacking.

8 The PARTNER 2A Trial

9 Yes The PARTNER 2A Trial Study Design Symptomatic Severe Aortic Stenosis ASSESSMENT by Heart Valve Team Operable (STS 4%) Randomized Patients n = 2032 ASSESSMENT: Transfemoral Access No Transfemoral (TF) Transapical (TA) / TransAortic (TAo) 1:1 Randomization (n = 1550) 1:1 Randomization (n = 482) TF TAVR (n = 775) VS.
