Aortic Stenosis: Delivering the Best Care Today and Tomorrow-Best TAVR: Maximizing Efficiency and Outcomes in a Time of Limited Resources

Best TAVR: Maximizing Efficiency and Outcomes in a Time of Limited Resources

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, the speaker discusses strategies to improve pacemaker implantation and early discharge in patients undergoing TAVR (transcatheter aortic valve replacement). They present findings from a study involving about 1,000 patients who received the S3 valve, comparing different deployment strategies and their impact on pacemaker rates. They also discuss the use of a pacing study to determine the need for pacemaker implantation after TAVR. Additionally, the speaker discusses the benefits of using same-side arterial access for peripheral intervention and the safety and feasibility of same-day discharge following TAVR. The study showed no significant differences in outcomes between same-day and next-day discharge groups. Overall, the speaker emphasizes the importance of optimizing pacemaker implantation and post-TAVR management to improve patient outcomes and hospital resource utilization.
