Outcomes of Emergency Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To identify outcomes of patients undergoing emergency transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) and determine predictors of in-hospital mortality.

Background

Emergency TAVR has emerged as a viable treatment strategy for patients with decompensated severe aortic stenosis and/or regurgitation; however, data on patients undergoing emergency TAVR are limited.

Methods

All emergency TAVR procedures were identified from a single tertiary academic center between January 2015 and August 2018.

Results

31 patients underwent emergency TAVR due to cardiogenic shock (26 patients), electrical instability with incessant ventricular tachycardia (2 patients), severe refractory angina (2 patients), and decompensated heart failure with hypoxemic respiratory failure r
