Valvular & structural heart disease

Explant vs Redo-TAVR After Transcatheter Valve Failure: Mid-Term Outcomes From the EXPLANTORREDO-TAVR International Registry

JACC Cardiovasc IntervPublished Registry study

Authors' conclusion

TAVR-explant had higher mortality at 30 days and 1 year, but similar rates on landmark analysis after 30 days.
