Predictors of length of hospital stay and impact of a TAVI program on management and outcomes of patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The number of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) procedures in patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS) is increasing worldwide. We aimed to assess the impact of a TAVI program on clinical profile, management and outcomes of these patients and to describe predictors of length of hospital stay (LoS) in this context.

Methods

Retrospective single center study enrolling consecutive AS patients undergoing TAVI and surviving to discharge (January 2018-December 2022). A TAVI program was implemented in may 2021. Baseline clinical characteristics, management and in-hospital complications were registered. Predictors of long hospital stay (> 7 day) were assessed by binary logistic regression.

Results

We included 614 patients, with mean age 80.5 years. Mos
