Baseline demographics, CT-derived aortic measurements, procedural details, and post-procedural outcomes were compared. Of 1230 patients undergoing TAVI, 44 Southeast Asians were matched to 84 Caucasians. Compared with Caucasians, Southeast Asians had lower BMI (25.8 \u00b1 4.6 vs. 29.4 \u00b1 6.5\u2005kg\/m\u00b2, P = 0.001) and smaller annular areas (390.3 \u00b1 89.5 vs. 469.4 \u00b1 89.3\u2005mm\u00b2, P &amp;lt; 0.001), perimeters (71 \u00b1 7.8 vs. 78 \u00b1 7.6\u2005mm, P &amp;lt; 0.001), and sinus heights (20.1 \u00b1 3.2 vs. 22.6 \u00b1 3.3\u2005mm, P &amp;lt; 0.001). Indexed annular area did not differ significantly (229 \u00b1 42.7 vs. 242 \u00b1 41.6\u2005mm\u00b2\/m\u00b2, P = 0.10). Median valve size was smaller in Southeast Asians (23 vs. 26\u2005mm, P &amp;lt; 0.001). Residual aortic regurgitation (AR) post-implant was more frequent in Southeast Asians, with fewer having no AR (47.7% vs. 78.6%) and a higher proportion with mild (50.0% vs. 19.0%) or moderate AR (2.3% vs. 1.2%). Post-TAVI gradients were similar between groups.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Southeast Asian patients in the UK undergoing TAVI have smaller annular dimensions and receive smaller prostheses compared with Caucasians, partly reflecting differences in body habitus.
