Same day discharge after transcatheter aortic valve replacement: Are we there yet?

Philippe Généreux et al. Catheter Cardiovasc Interv. 2016 Apr.

Abstract

Early discharge after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has been increasingly reported, and is now becoming routinely performed in experienced TAVR centers. However, to the best of our knowledge, no case has been described where a patient was safely discharged on the same the day of the procedure. This report will present the case of a patient who underwent a successful transfemoral TAVR and was safely discharged home the same day. Specific requirements and criteria are proposed to ensure the safety of this approach.

Keywords: TAVI; TAVR; discharge.
