Survival and quality of life after transcatheter aortic valve implantation relative to the general population.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Little is known about survival and quality of life (QoL) of patients treated by transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) compared to the age- and sex-matched general population. In this study we compared subgroups of the National Heart Registration TAVI cohort to the Dutch age- and sex-matched population at the level of survival and QoL.

Methods and results

From the Netherlands Heart Registration (NHR) the TAVI cohort (5489 patients, period 2013-2017) was extracted. These data were compared to the national Dutch population data collected from the national statistics office, Statistics Netherlands (CBS). Subgroups were defined according to sex and age (<65, 65-80 and >80). For QoL analyses the age subgroups <65, 65-75 and >75 were used. Long term survival was
