Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement Outcomes Resources
Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) is a minimally invasive heart procedure to replace a stenotic aortic valve. TAVR is a less invasive option than surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR). The success and increase in use of TAVR are a result of advances in technology, greater operator experience, and improved outcomes.
Assembly Bill 133 (Chapter 143, Statutes of 2021) included revisions to existing statute that allows the Department of Health Care Access and Information (HCAI) to expand cardiovascular outcomes reporting. At the November 4, 2021 meeting, the Clinical Advisory Panel recommended HCAI move forward with hospital-level Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) outcomes reporting.
For a high-level overview of the TAVR implementation plan please see Expanded Cardiovascular Outcomes Reporting – Implementation Plan – July 2021.
Cardiac Online Reporting for California (CORC) is a data collection system. HCAI modified CORC to add a TAVR component. See instructions on how to add your contact information to CORC.
