Overview

Complications drive substantial TAVR costs; leaves open whether prevention strategies reduce expenditures in prospective studies.

Structured PICO

What is the effect of periprocedural complications on in-hospital costs and length of stay in patients undergoing TAVR?

P
Population
406 patients with severe aortic stenosis treated with transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) enrolled in the PARTNER I trial
I
Intervention
Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR)
O
Outcome
Incremental in-hospital costs and length of stay associated with specific periprocedural complications

Periprocedural complications during TAVR are frequent and account for approximately 25% of non-implant-related hospital costs, highlighting the economic importance of complication avoidance.
