The TAVR-explant problem is now a number we can quote at heart team meetings. [NOTABLE] A narrative review of four studies and 35,677 patients pegs operative mortality of redo SAVR after TAVR at 12-17% versus 1.1-9% after prior SAVR , with propensity-matched odds ratios as high as 12.5 and observed-to-expected ratios exceeding 1.0 even in low-risk patients.

TAVR-SAVR volume is growing at up to 144.6% annually and may eclipse SAVR-SAVR by 2029.
