Aortic valve replacement for aortic stenosis: Influence of centre volume on TAVR adoption rates and outcomes in France

CONCLUSIONS: In a centralized public healthcare system, the total number of AVRs increased linearly between 2007 and 2019, mostly due to an increase in TAVR, irrespective of centre volume. Progressive declines in patient risk profiles and death rates were observed in all terciles; in 2017-2019 death rates were similar in all terciles, although lower in high-volume centres for SAVR.PMID:38670869 | DOI:10.1016/j.acvd.2024.02.007
