Marital status, educational level, and mid-term mortality risk in 5924 patients after transcatheter aortic valve implantation.

There is scarce knowledge about the association between social factors and mid-term outcome in older patients undergoing transaortic valve implantation (TAVI). Our aim in this study is to explore associations between marital status, educational level, and mortality risk in patients after TAVI.
