VALVULAR AND STRUCTURAL HEART DISEASES Original Studies Assisted Care as a Baseline Patient Risk Characteristic Affecting the Outcome of Transcatheter Aortic Valve Insertion

Objective measures of frailty have not been well defined as risk factors for a poor outcome after transcatheter aortic valve insertion. We hypothesized that assisted care as a baseline patient characteristic was a simple objective measure of frailty. We reviewed our experience to assess for an association between assisted care and outcome of operation.
