This is the first study in which social deprivation has been investigated as a risk factor for mortality in a high-risk group of patients with severe aortic stenosis undergoing TAVI. Residing in a 'more deprived' area in South West Wales is not associated with adverse outcome following TAVI but patients who are 'more deprived' tend to stay longer in hospital compared with patients who are 'less deprived'.
