Why the study?
Long-term causes of death following transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) remain sparsely described as the procedure becomes more widespread.
How does the cause of death change over time in patients who underwent TAVI compared to matched controls from the general population?
How does the cause of death change over time in patients who underwent TAVI compared to matched controls from the general population?
Long-term survivors of TAVI have causes of death that increasingly resemble those of the general population, with the proportion of cardiovascular deaths decreasing over time.

Supports shifting focus to non-CV care in long-term TAVI survivors; leaves open prospective validation.
