Multicenter Comparison of Novel Self-Expanding Versus Balloon-Expandable Transcatheter Heart Valves

Very high success rates were achieved for both valves, and the clinical and procedural results were comparable. Compared with S3, NEO was associated with less new pacemaker implantations and less elevated gradients, but with more paravalvular leakage.
