The late-breaking science was presented at the Cardiovascular Research Technologies (CRT) 2025 conference in <span class=\"xn-location\">Washington, D.C.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Valve performance is critical for all patients, but the impact of poor valve performance is magnified in patients with a small aortic annulus, who are at risk of receiving a valve that is not adequate for their cardiac requirements,&#8221; said <span class=\"xn-person\">Howard C. Herrmann<\/span>, M.D., Perelman School of Medicine at the <span class=\"xn-org\">University of Pennsylvania<\/span>, and lead investigator of the trial. &#8220;The two-year results highlight the continued superior performance of the Evolut TAVR valve in these patients. While we would not yet expect to see a significant difference in the composite clinical outcomes at this early stage, valve performance provides important data that operators can use to inform and personalize treatment decisions to enhance patient outcomes.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The SMART two-year data demonstrated that Evolut TAVR continues to show significantly less BVD, which can be a predictor of adverse outcomes<sup>1<\/sup>, compared to SAPIEN TAVR. Additional results demonstrated that Evolut TAVR showed the following relative to SAPIEN TAVR:<\/p>\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li>Five times less prosthetic valve thrombosis (p=0.0048)<\/li>\n<li>Nine times less hemodynamic structural valve dysfunction (defined by mean gradient \u2265 20mmHg; p&lt;0.001)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These results build on additional data of Evolut BVD performance in small and large annulus patients, which will be presented as a late-breaker at CRT today, and the Evolut BVD pooled analysis by Dr. Steven Yakobuv published in the <a href=\"https:\/\/c212.net\/c\/link\/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=4379168-1&amp;h=1322196055&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.jacc.org%2Fdoi%2F10.1016%2Fj.jacc.2025.02.009%3Futm_medium%3Dprint_qr%26utm_source%3Dauthor%26utm_campaign%3Dspub%26utm_content%3Dauthor&amp;a=Journal+of+the+American+College+of+Cardiology\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Journal of the American College of Cardiology<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The SMART Trial is an international, prospective, multi-center, randomized (1:1) post-market trial comparing the safety and performance of Evolut self-expanding TAVR versus SAPIEN balloon-expandable TAVR in patients with symptomatic severe aortic stenosis (AS) and small aortic annulus. The trial, the largest head to head randomized control trial to primarily enroll women, randomized and treated 716 patients, 87% of which were women, across more than 80 sites worldwide.<sup>2<\/sup> Eligible patients had an aortic valve annulus area of \u2264430 mm\u00a0as measured by computed tomography, and suitable anatomy for transfemoral TAVR with both an Evolut PRO\/PRO+\/FX or a SAPIEN 3\u2122\/3 Ultra\u2122 valve. Patients enrolled in the trial will continue to be followed out to five years.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The SMART Trial is a groundbreaking, head-to-head comparison that, for the first time, highlights how a patient with a small annulus can benefit from Evolut&#8217;s differentiated valve design,&#8221; said <span class=\"xn-person\">Kendra J.
