Article Synopsis
- Concomitant mitral stenosis (MS) occurs in 10-15% of patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), prompting a study to investigate outcomes using the Nationwide Inpatient Sample database from 2015 to 2020.

- Results showed that patients with MS had a higher incidence of acute respiratory failure (8.8% vs. 4.89%), complete heart block (13.54% vs. 9.36%), and permanent pacemaker placement (8.03% vs. 6.03%),
