Association of Hospital Inpatient Percutaneous Coronary Intervention Volume With Clinical Outcomes After Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement and Transcatheter Mitral Valve Repair.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

The US Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services recently released an updated national coverage determination proposal for transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) that maintains a focus on hospital TAVR volume and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) volume, and the national coverage determination for transcatheter mitral valve repair (TMVr) also has PCI volume requirements. However, the associations between hospital PCI volume and TAVR and TMVr outcomes are unknown.

Objective

To investigate whether hospital inpatient PCI volume is associated with rates of risk-adjusted in-hospital mortality and 30-day hospital readmission after TAVR and TMVr.

Design, setting, and participants
