Zusammenfassung: | This study aims to compare veterans and non-veterans undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) using data from the Society for Thoracic Surgeons/American College of Cardiology Transcatheter Valve Therapy (STS/ACC TVT) registry.
Patients undergoing TAVR at George Washington University (GWU) and veterans treated at Washington DC Veterans Affairs Medical Center (VAMC) who underwent TAVR at GWU from 2014-2020 were included. All patients were reported in the TVT registry. Emergency and valve-in-valve TAVR were excluded. Cohorts were divided based on veteran status. Operators were the same for both groups. Outcomes were compared at 30 days and 1 year. The primary outcome was mortality and secondary outcomes were morbidity metrics.
A total of 299 patients (91 veterans, 208 non-veterans) were included. Veterans had higher rates of hypertension (87.9% vs 77.9%; P=.04), diabetes (46.7% vs 28.9%; P |
