Objective. Explore the factors affecting the QO of life after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) and analyze and evaluate their surgical efficacy and postoperative survival status. Methods. Through correlation analysis and multiple regression analysis, we predict various clinical characteristics and postoperative quality and predict clinical changes in L postoperative quality. Results. The quality of life of patients with the disease has gradually improved and improved from 6 months after surgery. The differences in the three aspects of its physiological mechanism function, physiological function function, overall health, and vitality are statistically significant ( p < 0.05 ). Conclusion. Compared with traditional open-thoracic aortic valve (AV) surgery, TAVR has the significant advantages of smaller surgical incision and less trauma to the patient, which has become one of the reasons why patients are willing to accept it.

Abstract Background In patients with severe calcific aortic stenosis, transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has been shown to significantly improve quality of life (QOL). However, changes in QOL at early follow-up (<1 month), and following next-day discharge are poorly understood. Methods A total of 411 patients at 13 centers were enrolled in the Multimodality, Multidisciplinary but Minimalist TAVR (3M TAVR) study in 2015–2017. QOL was evaluated using the Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ-12) in participants with a baseline score and at least one score at 2 weeks, 30 days and 1 year. Study endpoints were change in (1) KCCQ-Overall Summary Score (KCCQ-OS) and (2) minimal clinically important differences (MCID). Mixed effects models were used to explore patterns of change from baseline, with fixed terms for time, status at 1-year and their interaction terms, and a random intercept for subject to account for within subject correlation. Descriptive statistics were used to report MCID. Results Data were available for 358 (87.1%) participants. 216 (60.3%) were men with a median age 84.0 and STS 5.0 There was significant increase in QOL 2 weeks after TAVR (p≤0.01), and further significant improvement at the 1-month timepoint (p<0.01) for participants who were alive at 1 year. Sex, age category, and STS score category did not have a significant effect on the change in QOL (p>0.05). In the first 2 weeks, moderate (10–20 points) and large (>20 points) improvements were observed in 19.9% and 49.0% of the surviving patients, respectively; at 1-year, similar MCID were seen in 14.6% and 64.0% respectively. Figure 1 Conclusion This is the first study to report significant increase in QOL 2 weeks after TAVR, with sustained improvement during the first year in patients treated with the Vancouver TAVR Clinical Pathway with a goal of next-day discharge. Further studies are necessary to determine whether alternative TAVR clinical pathways yield similar findings. Acknowledgement/Funding Investigator-initiated unrestricted research grant, Edwards
