TF-TAVI and SAVR post-procedural complications in Germany 2021/2022 – impact on healthcare resource consumption
Healthcare resource consumption differs between TF-TAVI and SAVR for aortic stenosis treatment also after procedural complications. SAVR is associated with longer hospitalization and more mechanical ventilation, while TF-TAVI is associated with higher reimbursement in the German healthcare system. Complications lead to increased resource use for both procedures with higher extra reimbursement for SAVR and more extra hospital days for TF-TAVI after bleeding reversing the length of stay advantage.
