Abstract
Among Medicare beneficiaries who survived 1 year after aortic valve replacement, 3 in 5 remained free of hospitalization; however, certain subgroups had higher rates of hospitalization. After the 30-day period, the hospitalization rate was similar to that of the general Medicare population. Hospitalization rates and cumulative days spent in hospital decreased with time.
