Commentary: Getting it right

[摘要] In this edition of The Journal, Fukuhara and colleagues1 describe the outcomes of aortic valve reintervention following transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). By analyzing patients from the Michigan Statewide quality collaborative, they found that 87 of 9694 (0.90%) patients received reintervention following TAVR. The median time to reintervention was relatively short (9.6 months), and those who underwent surgical reintervention faced a high mortality rate of 15%.1 The authors are congratulated for their reporting on this important issue.
