Surgical Bailout During TAVR: A Contemporary Analysis of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Database

Listen to this summary

This study analyzes the trends and outcomes of surgical bailout during transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) using data from Medicare beneficiaries between 2016 and 2024. The authors found that the incidence of TAVR bailouts decreased over time, yet the 30-day mortality rate for these cases remained high at 26.3%. The findings emphasize the importance of maintaining cardiac surgical support in TAVR centers to effectively address emergent complications.
