Wiki BAV bridge to TAVR

[dje10008]

Cardiologist plans to do a Balloon Aortic Vavuloplasty "bridge" to a TAVR. (TAVR already consider). BAV procedure is 90 day global. Is the office visits after the BAV procedure but before the TAVR to discuss risk/procedure consider global or unrelated since its a new procedure? Thoughts? Thanks in advance!

Of what I have experienced in seeing a TAVR, the BAV is part of the TAVI.
