Electrocardiographic features that militate against early hospital discharge after transcatheter aortic valve replacement

An 84-year-old woman was referred for transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) after severe symptomatic aortic stenosis (valve area, 0.9 cm2; peak and mean transaortic pressure gradients of 63 mm Hg and 32 mm Hg, respectively). She had a medical history of renal cell carcinoma after nephrectomy with a creatinine level of 1.7 mg/L. Echocardiography showed preserved left ventricular function and mild to moderate aortic and mitral regurgitation. Normal coronary arteries were found on coronary angiography before TAVR.
