The STS/ACC Transcatheter Valve Therapy (TVT) Registry captures all procedures with Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved transcatheter valve devices performed in the United States and is mandated as a condition of reimbursement by a Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services (CMS) OBJECTIVES: This annual report focuses on patient characteristics, trends, and outcomes of transcatheter aortic and mitral valve catheter-based valve procedures in the United States. Data for all patients receiving commercially approved devices from 2012 through December 31, 2015 are entered in the TVT Registry. The 54,782 TAVR patients demonstrated decreases in expected risk of 30-day operative mortality (STS PROM) 7% to 6% and TAVR PROM (TVT PROM) 4% to 3% (both p<.0001) from 2012 to 2015. Observed in-hospital mortality decreased from 5.7% to 2.9% and one-year mortality decreased from 25.8% to 21.6. However, 30-day post procedure pacemaker insertion increased from 8.8% in 2013 to 12.0% in 2015. The 2,556 patients who underwent TMC in 2015 were similar to 2013-14 patients with hospital mortality of 2% with mitral regurgitation reduced to gradient ≤ 2 in 87% of patients (p<.0001). The 349 patients who underwent MViV and MViR procedures were high risk with, an STS PROM for MVR of 11%. The observed hospital mortality was 7.2% and 30-day post procedure was 8.5%. The TVT Registry is an innovative registry that that monitors quality, patient safety and trends for these rapidly evolving new technologies. The STS/ACC TVT Registry captures all Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved transcatheter valve devices preformed in the United States and is mandated as a condition for reimbursement by the Centers for Medicare Services. TAVR patients' expected risks of mortality and actual in-hospital mortality decreased. Transcatheter mitral clip procedures had a low mortality with reduced in mitral regurgitation to grade ≤ 2 in 87%. Mitral valve in valve or valve in ring patients were high risk for mortality, but actual hospital mortality was lower. The TVT Registry is an innovative registry that monitors quality, safety and trends of these evolving technologies.
