Complications and female sex limit early TAVI discharge; hypothesis-generating for interventions to safely increase rates.
What are the predictors of early hospital discharge following transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) in the United States?
Early discharge post-TAVI is achieved in about 21% of patients and is associated with significantly lower hospitalization costs, while complications and female sex reduce the likelihood of early discharge.
