Abstract

We identified risk factors for infection following transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI); infection occurred in 35 (13.8%) of 253 patients. Variables associated with infection included chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (OR, 1.2; 95% CI, 1.1-1.4), postprocedural hemorrhage (OR, 1.2; 95% CI, 1.0-1.3), and procedure-related stroke (OR, 1.6; 95% CI, 1.3-2.1).
