Key PointsWhat the article teaches . Patients who are not discharged home after transcatheter aortic valve replacement have higher mortality during follow‐up How it will impact practice . Implementation of hospital protocols aimed at reducing rates of un‐necessary nonhome discharge is desirable. What new research/study would help answer the question posed . The reasons for worse outcomes after nonhome discharge should be further investigated, as well as the cause of higher likelihood of nonhome discharge in some patients' subgroups, like women.
