Fig 1 Site and procedure counts for TAVR. Note that there has been progressive increase annually, with a total of 418 sites that have performed 54,782 transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) procedures.

Fig 2 Site and procedure counts for the mitral clip procedure. Note the progressive increase since 2013 to a total of 176 sites that have performed 3,745 mitral clip procedures. (TVTR = Transcatheter Valve Therapy Registry.)

Fig 3 Site and procedure counts for transcatheter mitral valve-in-valve and valve-in-ring procedures. Note the annual increases beginning in 2013 for an overall 98 sites that have performed the 349 mitral valve-in-valve and valve-in-ring procedures through December 31, 2015.

Fig 4 Map of TAVR sites color coded by year of their first TAVR. Blue = 2011, green = 2012, yellow = 2013, orange = 2014, and red = 2015. (TAVR = transcatheter aortic valve replacement.)

Fig 5 The age of TAVR patients by age categories each year from 2012 through 2015. Note that the predominate age group is still ≥80 years, although there has been some decrease recently in the older age groups, likely reflecting the somewhat lower-risk patient population. (TAVR = transcatheter aortic valve replacement.)

Fig 6 In-hospital and 30-day mortality rates of TAVR patients. Note the progressive decrease in mortality from 2012 to 2015. (TAVR = transcatheter aortic valve replacement.)

Fig 7 1-Year mortality and stroke rate using TVT/CMS linkage. Note the decreasing mortality over 3 years whereas the stroke rate did not significantly change. (CMS = U.S. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services; TVT = transcatheter valve therapy.)

Fig 8 Significant reduction in major TAVR post-procedure bleeding and vascular injuries. A very significant reduction in bleeding is noted over time. (TAVR = transcatheter aortic valve replacement.)

Fig 9 Severity of aortic regurgitation at discharge and 30 days following TAVR. Note the decrease in severity of aortic regurgitation over 4 years. (TAVR = transcatheter aortic valve replacement.)

Fig 10 Post-TAVR aortic valve gradients. A significant increase in the <10-mm Hg category, and consistent decreases in the 10- to <20-mm Hg and ≥20-mm Hg categories are demonstrated over 4 years.
