    Patients who underwent transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) with a history of atrial fibrillation (AF) have higher rates of all-cause mortality, inpatient complications, and length of hospitalization.1–3 However, intermediate-term outcomes and the impact of stroke risk as calculated by CHA2DS2-VASc scores in the AF population who underwent TAVI have not previously been described. The efficacy of left atrial appendage closure in conjunction with the TAVI procedure awaits the results of data from the WATCH-TAVR (WATCHMAN for Patients With Atrial Fibrillation Undergoing Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement) trial. ...pre-TAVI AF is associated with an increased rate of adverse events.
