Mortality and morbidity after transcatheter aortic valve implantation compared to an age- and sex-matched control population: a population-based study from the SWEDEHEART registry.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Data are lacking about the risk for death and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI), compared to the general population. Therefore, we assessed the risk for all-cause death and MACE after TAVI in patients aged 65 years and older, in comparison to an age- and sex-matched control population.

Methods and results

In total, 5924 TAVI patients and 10 928 matched controls [mean age 82.1, standard deviation (SD) 6.0, and 81.9, SD 6.1, respectively] were included from 2014 to 2020. The SWEDEHEART registry and four mandatory national registers were used to collect data. Cox regression models were used to assess the association with all-cause mortality and MACE risk. In total, 1410 (23.8%) of the TAVI patients and 2
