We compared insulin requirements between TAVR and Surgical Aortic Valve Replacement (SAVR) patients with and without diabetes mellitus (DM) to determine optimal glucose management strategies during the perioperative period (POP). Methods: Charts of consecutive patients undergoing aortic procedures were retrospectively reviewed for glucose ranges, insulin requirements and routes of insulin administration (subcutaneous vs. intravenous) for patients with and without DM to maintain BG Results: Patients with SAVRs without DM and A1C Conclusions: TAVR patients have different insulin requirements compared to SAVRs (p < 0.05). This information helps build a glucose management algorithm for a procedure which is increasingly performed.展开更多
