Risk and Timing of Noncardiac Surgery After Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Noncardiac surgery after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is a clinical challenge with concerns about safety and optimal management.

Objectives

To evaluate perioperative risk of adverse events associated with noncardiac surgery after TAVI by timing of surgery, type of surgery, and TAVI valve performance.

Design, setting, and participants

This cohort study was conducted using data from a prospective TAVI registry of patients at the tertiary care University Hospital in Bern, Switzerland. All patients undergoing noncardiac surgery after TAVI were identified. Data were analyzed from November through December 2021.

Exposures

Timing, clinical urgency, and risk category of noncardiac surgery were assessed among patients who had undergone TAVI
