Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how psychiatric conditions affect the likelihood of receiving transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) in hospitalized patients with aortic stenosis (AS).
- Out of over 1.5 million AS patients analyzed, 26% had psychiatric comorbidities, which significantly decreased their odds of undergoing TAVR.
- The findings suggest that patients with conditions like depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorder had even lower odds of receiving TAVR, indicating a need for further research to understand and address these disparities.
• Timely follow-up is critical in reducing the risk for device-related complications. • Studies are needed on the efficacy of DAPT after LAAO in high-risk patients. • Serial TEE is crucial for evaluating device-related complications.
