Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation in the UK: Temporal Trends, Predictors of Outcome and 6 Year Follow Up: A Report from the UK TAVI Registry 2007 to 2012.

CONCLUSIONS: -We analysed TAVI in an entire country, with follow up over 6 years. Although clinical profiles of enrolled patients remained unchanged, longer term outcomes improved, and patients were discharged earlier. Peri-procedural stroke, non-femoral access and post-procedure aortic regurgitation are predictors of adverse outcome, along with intrinsic patient risk factors.
