The present study was designed to evaluate the safety of TAVR with a preoperative ascending aortic (AA) diameter ≥ 40 mm. This study also aimed to explore the procedural outcomes and clinical prognoses of patients with AAD combined compared to those of patients without AAD combined who underwent TAVR. Between January 2019 and July 2021, a total of 186 patients who were diagnosed at a single centre with severe AS underwent the TAVR procedure using a self-expanding valve. The AA diameter was evaluated via 3-dimensional (3D) multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) before TAVR. AAD was defined as a value of AAD ≥ 40 mm.
