Significant post-TAVI AR signals higher in-hospital mortality risk; hypothesis-generating in observational data and should not yet change practice.
Does significant aortic regurgitation after TAVI increase in-hospital mortality in patients with severe aortic stenosis?
Significant aortic regurgitation after TAVI is a common complication (17.2%) that independently predicts increased in-hospital mortality.
