Comparative StudyOutcomes and readmissions after transcatheter and surgical aortic valve replacement in patients with cirrhosis: A propensity matched analysis.
The data on the comparative outcomes and readmissions after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) and surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) in patients with cirrhosis are limited. We compared mortality, complications, discharge disposition, 30-day readmission rates, length of stay, and cost of hospitalization in cirrhotic patients undergoing TAVR and SAVR. ⋯ Cirrhotic patients undergoing TAVR has high, but similar mortality and 30-day readmission rates when compared to SAVR; however, has shorter length of stay and lower blood transfusion rates.
