Interaction Between Frailty and Access Site in Older Adults Undergoing Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement
Abstract
OBJECTIVES: The authors sought to determine whether frail older adults undergoing nonfemoral transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) procedures had a higher risk of 30-day and 12-month mortality.
