surgical risk population. Post procedure re-admission is associated with increased morbidity
and mortality. Hypothesis: To evaluate the 30 day hospital re-admission presentations of
patients who underwent recent TAVR. Methods: We used National readmission database
year 2018 to identify all patients who underwent TAVR using ICD-10 codes (02RF3) Results …

Background—Readmissions after cardiac procedures are common and contribute to
increased healthcare utilization and costs. Data on 30-day readmissions after transcatheter
aortic valve replacement (TAVR) are limited. Methods and Results—Patients undergoing
TAVR (International Classification of Diseases-Ninth Revision-CM codes 35.05 and 35.06)
between January and November 2013 who survived the index hospitalization were
identified in the Nationwide Readmissions Database. Incidence, predictors, causes, and …
