In this single-center, retrospective analysis, both Lotus and DFM devices demonstrated excellent device success, safety and efficacy at 30-day follow-up. The DFM valve was associated with minimally higher transvalvular gradients but lower new pacemaker implantation rates when compared to the Lotus valve.
