Transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) has become an established treatment for mitral and tricuspid regurgitation for patients at increased surgical risk. Despite the high rates of procedural success1,2 and transfemoral venous access, elective patients are rarely discharged on the day of the procedure. Recent studies have reported post-TEER median hospital stay of 1 day (IQR, 1-2 days2, and 1-4 days3). Same-day discharge (SDD) offers potential advantages to patients and health care systems, including early mobilization, facilitated recovery in the home environment, reduced risk of nosocomial infection, and improved cost efficiency.
