Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has become a well-established treatment option for patients with severe aortic stenosis. With advances in the field and positive outcomes in clinical trials, TAVR use has expanded from being limited to older patients with prohibitive surgical risk to younger patients with intermediate and low surgical risk. As operators’ experiences have grown and technology has evolved, there are fewer TAVR complications. However, when complications do occur, they remain associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Aortic annulus rupture is a catastrophic complication of TAVR. Risk factors for annulus rupture include valve oversizing, female gender, a large calcification …

Working toward inclusive strategies for data sampling, trials, and triage is essential. Whatever the approach, it is important to do better than what has been done in the past when considering race and ethnicity in patient care. Although there may be limited publications with information on this topic, they have shown clear differences in patient outcomes with possible associations with gender, race, and ethnicity. It is critical to view the implications of this on socioeconomic status, access, resources, patient phenotypes, and patient desires and expectations. The disparities must first be recognized before any treatment options can be identified.
