Aortic Stenosis and Coronary Artery Disease: Cost of Transcatheter versus Surgical Management

CONCLUSIONS: There has been a steady increase in the utilization of percutaneous strategies for AS and CAD management. In-hospital mortality was comparable in SAVR+CABG and TAVR+PCI groups, but despite shorter in-hospital stays, TAVR+PCI was associated with higher cardiac and vascular complication rates and hospitalization charges.PMID:34560043 | DOI:10.1016/j.athoracsur.2021.08.028
