Patients with INSPIRIS valves had shorter lengths of stay and fewer readmissions compared to other tissue and mechanical valves.
Does surgical aortic valve replacement with INSPIRIS valves improve short-term costs and outcomes compared to other tissue or mechanical valves in patients undergoing SAVR?
The use of INSPIRIS valves for SAVR may reduce healthcare utilization through shorter hospital stays and fewer readmissions, which partially offsets higher initial admission costs.
Absolute Event Rate: 0% vs 0%
Patients undergoing SAVR with INSPIRIS valves had shorter length of stay and fewer readmissions compared to other tissue valves and to mechanical valves. Reduced cost of readmissions partially offset higher cost of initial SAVR admission. Further research is warranted to explore this association between valve used and utilization outcomes.
