Impact of pre ‐existing or new‐onset atrial fibrillation on 30‐day clinical outcomes following Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement: Results From The BRAVO 3 Randomized Trial

Conclusions: Prior or new‐onset AF within 30 days of transfemoral TAVR is noted in more than one‐third of patients. Despite greater baseline comorbidities than non‐AF patients, AF was not associated with greater risk of adjusted 30‐day outcomes. In the BRAVO 3 trial, early outcomes were similar regardless of anticoagulant strategy in each group. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
