NON-FEMORAL ACCESS IS ASSOCIATED WITH 30-DAY MORTALITY IN FRAIL PATIENTS UNDERGOING TRANSCATHETER AORTIC VALVE REPLACEMENT

Background: We hypothesized that frail older adults may be less capable of tolerating the operative stress associated with non-femoral transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) and face a higher risk of 30-day mortality as compared to robust patients. Methods: This study was a post hoc analysis
