Outcomes of emergent cardiac surgery after transcatheter aortic valve implantation

CONCLUSION: ECS following complicated TAVI was performed in only a small number of cases. It had a high but acceptable perioperative and 30-day mortality, taking into account the otherwise lethal consequences. In case of valve embolisation, no periprocedural or 30-day mortality was observed for surgical aortic valve replacement (even in a redo setting), which supported the necessity to perform TAVI in centres with cardiac surgical backup on site.PMID:37917382 | DOI:10.1007/s12471-023-01820-0
