Outcome measures pertaining to post‐procedure care included avoidance of invasive lines and delirium, in‐hospital bed utilization, patient disposition at the time of discharge, and 30‐day use of nonelective medical services.</jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results</jats:title><jats:p>Four hundred eleven participants were enrolled. In the post‐procedure phase, 365 (88.8%) participants were admitted without a temporary pacemaker; urinary catheterization was avoided in 402 (97.8%) participants. Of note, 91.7% received care in a single unit (critical care: 72.5%; cardiac telemetry: 19.2%); 99.0% were discharged home. At the time of 30‐day follow‐up, 6 (1.6%) participants required admission to a rehabilitation or a skilled nursing facility; 30‐day emergency department visits were 13.5%.</jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions</jats:title><jats:p>The implementation of the 3M TAVR standardized accelerated reconditioning protocol is a safe and effective strategy to facilitate next‐day discharge home after TAVR in centers of varying size.</jats:p></jats:sec>
