Contemporary Incidence and Procedural Volume of Transcatheter Aortic Valve Reintervention

What are the contemporary procedural volumes of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) reintervention on a national scale?In this US Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services analysis of 410 720 TAVRs from 2012 to 2024, there were 2374 redo TAVRs and 1346 TAVR explants, demonstrating increasing annual volumes of both redo TAVR and TAVR explants. Beyond 5 years from the index TAVR, most TAVR reinterventions were redo TAVR (725 of 819 [88.5%]).Continued focus on TAVR reintervention is critical to optimize the lifetime management of aortic stenosis.
