Zusammenfassung:Patients with autoimmune connective tissue disease (CTD) are at higher risk for developing aortic valve pathology, but the safety and value of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) in this population has not been investigated. This study evaluated mortality, complication, and readmission rates along with length of stay and total costs after TAVI in patients with CTD. We retrospectively reviewed 47,216 patients who underwent TAVI from the National Readmissions Database between January 2011 and September 2015. Patients with systemic lupus erythematosus, scleroderma, rheumatoid arthritis, and other autoimmune CTD comprised the cohort. The primary outcome was mortality at index hospitalization. The 2,557 CTD patients (5.4%) had a higher Elixhauser co-morbidity index (7.1 vs 6.1, p
