Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Non-elective TAVI is associated with significantly higher 1-year mortality compared to elective TAVI, highlighting the need for optimized care and follow-up strategies for these higher-risk patients.
While non-elective patients had acceptable periprocedural outcomes, mortality rates at 1 year were significantly higher compared to elective patients. Approximately only half of elective patients could be discharged early. Improvements in periprocedural care, follow-up strategies and optimized treatment of both elective and non-elective TAVI patients are needed.
