Predicting the unpredictable mortality outcome of valve ‐in‐valve interventions
Key Points
Surgical aortic valve replacement (AVR) risk scores overestimate valve ‐in‐valve (ViV) transcatheter AVR (TAVR) mortality, with moderate discrimination
Due to low prevalence of 30‐day mortality, positive predictive value is low
Specific risk score examining multiple outcomes for TAVR and ViV patients are needed
