Article Synopsis
- - Preoperative hyperbilirubinemia is found in about 10% of patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) and is more common in younger males and those with certain heart conditions.
- - Patients with elevated bilirubin levels before TAVR have a higher risk of complications post-surgery, including increased rates of death, stroke, and the combination of both.
- - The study highlights that hyperbilirubinemia is linked to worse outcomes in TAVR patients and suggests that this condition may be more common and clinically significant than previously thought.
