Reply: Stentless versus stented bioprosthetic root replacement in the medicare population and the wisdom of crowds
In our recent analysis of long-term outcomes of aortic root operations in the United States among Medicare beneficiaries using the Society of Thoracic Surgeons Adult Cardiac Surgery Database (STS-ACSD) and Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services linked data for patients aged 65 years or older undergoing elective aortic root surgery, we concluded that the bioprosthetic Bentall operation should be the procedure of choice in this population due to improved survival and lower stroke risk compared with the use of the mechanical Bentall, and lower risk of aortic valve reintervention compared with valve-sparing aortic root replacement.

Transapical and Transaortic Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement in the United States
Conclusions Patients undergoing TAo TAVR are older, more likely female, and have significantly higher STS predicted risk of mortality scores than patients operated on by TA access. There were no risk-adjusted differences between TA and TAo access in mortality, stroke, or readmission rates as long as 1 year after TAVR.
