In this cohort study, noncardiac surgery (NS) after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) was not associated with more perioperative adverse events. Suboptimal device performance was associated with increased risk of adverse outcomes after NS. https://t.co/OYSLECeOzt

Interesting analysis of 300 pts undergoing NCS after TAVI: NCS may be performed early (<30d) after successful TAVI. Suboptimal device performance (prosthesis-pt mismatch, paravalvular regurg) was associated with incr risk
