Popis: AIMS Early discharge after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) may potentially impact post-procedural safety of the patient. The study aim was to compare safety of TAVI in patients planned for fast track hospital stay with patients planned for standard hospital stay. METHODS AND RESULTS All-comers patients undergoing transfemoral TAVI between 2011 and 2017 were allocated to two matched groups depending whether the procedure was performed before or after transition from standard to fast track course. Data on vital status and hospitalizations were obtained through national registries. Three hundred and nineteen matched pairs were eligible for analysis.
