Time to surgical bailout and mortality in complicated transcatheter aortic valve replacement
Surgical bailout during TAVR is rare, but associated mortality remains high. Bailout performed in a HOR was associated with shorter delays to surgical incision and improved outcomes, with haemodynamic stability at the time of conversion emerging as an important factor associated with survival. These findings highlight the potential relevance of minimising time to surgery through optimised infrastructure, such as a HOR.
