2:30 PM TRANSCATHETER AORTIC VALVE REPLACEMENT: TRANSFORMING CARE FOR AORTIC STENOSIS IN US VETERANS

  • Severe symptomatic aortic stenosis (sSAS) is prevalent in the older American population and has significant morbidity and mortality
  • Veterans represent a high proportion of Americans with severe symptomatic aortic stenosis
  • Though transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is a safe, cost-effective treatment option for sSAS, there are limited VA TAVR centers for the number of veterans with sSAS
  • The VA Healthcare System is uniquely poised to build on its integrated care model to improve TAVR access for veterans with severe symptomatic aortic stenosis
