We’re excited to share a new publication from our colleagues at Michigan TAVR. Surgical Explanation of Transcatheter Aortic Valve Bioprosthesis: A Statewide Experience was just published in Circulation: Cardiovascular Interventions. The study concluded that TAVR-explant is rare but increasing, and its clinical impact is substantial. As the utilization of TAVR into younger and lower-risk patients, providers should consider the potential for future TAVR-explant during selection of an initial valve strategy.
