Due to increasing clinical experience with transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) procedures, sophisticated imaging and advanced device technology, TAVI complication rates are low; however, patients requiring conversion to surgery are confronted with an increased mortality risk. In this retrospective study, we evaluated the predictors for conversion and the outcomes of these patients.
