Stress hyperglycaemia is a well-known risk factor of postoperative morbidity and mortality in cardiac surgery. Recently, several authors have reported that increased blood glucose (BG) variability could worsen the prognosis in this population.The transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is a low invasive procedure proposed as an alternative technique to aortic valve replacement surgery in high-risk patients. The aim of this study is to describe the incidence of stress hyperglycaemia and assess whether BG variability could impact the outcome of patients undergoing TAVI.

Incidence of stress hyperglycemia
Stress hyperglycemia is defined as a blood glucose value above 7.7 mmol/l requiring insulin infusion within the 48 first hours following the TAVI.
Time frame: 48 hours
Mean blood glucose value
Mean blood glucose value is the mean of all the blood glucose values measured during the 48 first hours following the TAVI.
Time frame: 48 hours
Standard deviation of blood glucose value
Standard deviation of glucose value is the standard deviation of all the blood glucose values measured during the 48 first hours following the TAVI.
Time frame: 48 hours
Incidence of moderate hypoglycemia
Moderate hypoglycemia is defined as a blood glucose value under 3.3 mmol/l.
Time frame: 48 hours
Incidence of severe hypoglycemia
Severe hypoglycemia is defined as a blood glucose value under 2.2 mmol/l.
Time frame: 48 hours
Incidence of severe hyperglycemia
Severe hyperglycemia is defined as a blood glucose value above 11.0 mmol/l.
Time frame: 48 hours
Coefficient of variability of blood glucose
The coefficient of variability is the ratio of the standard deviation on the mean blood glucose value, expressed as a percentage.
Time frame: 48 hours
