Racial Disparities Among Patients Undergoing Balloon-Expandable Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement
Evidence supports favorable outcomes across different ethnic groups, despite the presence of higher levels of comorbidities and lower TAVR utilization. Modest improvements in TAVR utilization disparities among Asian and Hispanic patients have occurred since its introduction; however, utilization in Black patients remains low despite favorable outcomes. Further efforts are needed to understand the reasons and mitigate disparities in minority patients.
