Urgent TAVR Care: Clinical and Operational Strategies to Improve Outcomes

Determining which hospitalized patients with severe aortic stenosis require urgent TAVR is challenging. While some patients are too unstable to delay, others can be stabilized, enabling safe discharge and return for elective procedures. Programs that use standardized triage, multidisciplinary decision-making, and strategies such as medical optimization or balloon aortic valvuloplasty can often defer less-urgent cases. This CV business white paper shares clinical and operational tactics from three leading programs to support timely intervention when needed and reduce non-elective procedures, enhancing care and sustainability across the cardiovascular service line.
