The US Centers for Medicare and medicaid Services (CMS) convened a panel on 07/25/2018 to discuss recommendations for hospitals to maintain and begin TAVR programs. The focus of the discussion was the procedural volume requirements for TAVR, SAVR, and PCI (https://www.cms.gov/medicare-coverage-database/details/medcac-meeting-de...). The dialogue was balanced. Further recommendations from CMS will be forthcoming.
