Why the study?
What are the predictors of early and late mortality after TAVI in patients with severe aortic stenosis?
What are the predictors of early and late mortality after TAVI in patients with severe aortic stenosis?
Early mortality after TAVI is primarily driven by procedural complications, whereas late mortality up to 1 year is driven by baseline comorbidities and significant paravalvular leak.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May inform periprocedural risk mitigation to curb early TAVI mortality; leaves open whether comorbidity management or leak reduction improves late survival.
Tamburino et al. (2011) studied this question.
