Incidence of, risk factors for and impact of readmission for heart failure after successful transcatheter aortic valve implantation.

CONCLUSIONS: Readmission for heart failure occurs in one in 10 patients after successful TAVI, and is a strong risk factor for mortality. Co-morbidities and left ventricular ejection fraction after TAVI≤35% are the main risk factors for readmission for heart failure.
