The Evolving Risk of Infective Endocarditis After Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation
The post-TAVI incidence of IE in Medicare patients decreased after 2019. This decrease was associated with declining rates of non-elective TAVI and coincided with FDA approval of TAVI for low-risk patients. TAVI explant rates were low but increased recently. The lack of improvement in 30-day mortality underscores the challenges of elderly care after TAVI.
