Transcatheter vs surgical aortic valve replacement in patients with interstitial lung disease

ConclusionsAmong ILD patients with symptomatic aortic stenosis, TAVR was associated with comparable operative and risk ‐adjusted 1‐year survival to SAVR. TAVR patients also had shorter ventilator times, ICU and hospital stay despite being at higher risk. Together, our findings suggest that TAVR may be a better option in this unique cohort.
