Trends over the past 4 years in population characteristics, 30-day outcomes and 1-year survival in patients treated with transcatheter aortic valve implantation.
CONCLUSIONS: Over the past 4 years, TAVI has been increasingly performed using a transfemoral approach. Treated patients are at lower-risk with less co-morbidity. Thirty-day mortality and complications remained unchanged, but length of stay after TAVI and 1-year mortality decreased dramatically.
