Transvascular transcatheter aortic valve implantation in 2017

ConclusionsThe rates of major complications like bleeding and permanent pacemaker implantation after TV-TAVI keep declining. In 2017 patients undergoing TV-TAVI had a low in-hospital mortality rate with an O/E ratio  <  1, indicating that the results were again better than those of all TAVI and SAVR of the previous year.Graphic abstractOverall in-hospital mortality after transvascular TAVI and isolated aortic valve repair 2017 in Germany stratified to risk groups by the German Aortic Valve Score (German AV Score/AKL Score): low risk group (AKL 0 – <  3%), intermediate risk group (AKL 3– <  6%), high risk group (AKL 6– <  10%) and very high risk group (AKL ≥ 10%)
