Hospital Resource Utilization Before and After Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement: The STS/ACC TVT Registry.

Patients had lower costs and fewer heart failure hospitalizations but more all-cause, noncardiovascular, and bleeding hospitalizations post-TAVR. Reduction in hospitalizations varied by specific patient subgroups, and thus, payors and providers seeking to reduce resource use may consider strategies designed to improve processes of care among patients with increased resource utilization post-TAVR as compared with pre-TAVR.
