Surgical Bailout in Patients Undergoing Transfemoral Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement: Incidence, Trends, and Clinical Outcomes
Authors' conclusion
The incidence of surgical bailout is very low in the contemporary TAVR population. Mortality rates remain high among patients requiring surgical bailout during transfemoral TAVR, but this risk diminishes in patients surviving the postprocedural period.
