Association Between Wait Time for Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement and Early Postprocedural Outcomes

摘要

BackgroundRapid growth in transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) demand has translated to inadequate access, reflected by prolonged wait times. Increasing wait times are associated with important adverse outcomes while on the wait‐list; however, it is unknown if prolonged wait times influence postprocedural outcomes. Our objective was to determine the association between TAVR wait times and postprocedural outcomes.
