Temporal Trends and Outcomes of Percutaneous and Surgical Aortic Valve Replacement in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation.

ABSTRACT: Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the temporal trends of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) in severe aortic stenosis (AS) patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and to compare the in-hospital outcomes between TAVR and surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) in patients with AF. Background: Data comparing TAVR to SAVR in severe AS patients with AF are lacking. Methods: National inpatient sample database in the United States from 2012 to 2016 were queried to identify hospitalizations for severe aortic stenosis patients with AF who underwent isolated aortic valve replacement. A propensity score-matched analysis was used to compare in-hospital outcomes for TAVR vs. SAVR for AS patients with AF. Results: The analysis included 278,455 hosp
