Core Tip

Core Tip: Our analysis of national readmission database for year 2018 to 2020 for 90 days readmissions for patients with chronic kidney disease stage 1-4 undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement showed considerably higher readmission rate to 32.4%. Majority were females and had higher comorbidity burden. Most common cause of 90 days readmission was congestive heart failure. Hence, we recommend optimization of co-morbidities and close follow up after index admission to prevent high rate of readmissions.
