Thirty‐day readmissions after transcatheter versus surgical mitral valve repair in high‐risk patients with mitral regurgitation: Analysis of the 2014–2015 Nationwide readmissions databases

Abstract

One in 10 patients are readmitted within 30 days following TMVR or SMVR. Approximately half of the readmissions are for cardiac reasons. The predictors of 30-day readmission are different among patients undergoing TMVR and SMVR, but can be easily screened for to identify patients at highest risk for readmission.
