  1. Categorical variables are expressed with N and %. Continuous variables are expressed with median and 25th, 75th percentile
  2. CVA cerebrovascular accident, LoS length of stay, Post AVA post-TAVI aortic valve area; Post mPG, Post-TAVI mean pressure gradient; post pPG, post-TAVI peak pressure gradient; PPM, permanent pacemaker; PVL, paravalvular leak; SAVR, surgical aortic valve replacement; THV, transcatheter heart valve
  3. * For direct comparison between the two cohorts only intraprocedural ECHO results were compared
