Transcatheter aortic valve implantation results are not superimposable to surgery in patients with aortic stenosis at low surgical risk

CONCLUSIONS: TAVI and SVAR in the treatment of AS in the patients at low surgical risk are not superimposable. In particular, if 30-day and 1-year mortality, major bleeding and acute kidney injury were significantly lower for TAVI, the need of new PM implantation and paravalvular leak were significantly lower in SAVR. Consequently, we suggest the need of more trials to evaluate the effectiveness of TAVI as routine therapeutic procedure in the treatment of patients with low surgical risk AS.PMID:34622437 | DOI:10.5603/CJ.a2021.0114
