More for less - Long-Term Survival Modelling for Surgical Aortic Valve Replacement follow-up. The division between a ministernotomy and a full sternotomy approach

CONCLUSIONS: MIAVR through ministernotomy provides at least as good long-term survival as FSAVR. Nevertheless, it should be recommended for diabetic, poor mobility patients with pre-existing AF in order to reduce their high cerebrovascular risk and to limit the progression of HF. MIAVR also needs to be considered in patients with chronic lung diseases to improve their extremely poor survival prognosis.PMID:35188218 | DOI:10.33963/KP.a2022.0056
