Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation in Lower-Risk Patients With Aortic Stenosis

Abstract: Abstract-Transcatheter aortic valve implantation underwent progressive improvements until it became the default therapy for inoperable patients, and a recommended therapy in high-risk operable patients with symptomatic severe aortic stenosis. In the lower-risk patient strata, a currently costly therapy that still has important complications with questionable durability is competing with the established effective and still-improving surgical replacement. This report tries to weigh the clinical evidence, the rec… Show more

“…Fostered by refinements in device technology, improved imaging, and streamlining of the procedure, transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) plays an increasingly important role in the treatment of severe, symptomatic aortic stenosis. 1,2 A decline in peri-procedural complications propelled expansion of TAVR to intermediate and low risk patients, and has shifted the focus of ongoing investigations to determinants of long term outcome. Risk scoring systems are instrumental to balance the expected benefits against the probability of adverse events, and represent a useful tool to properly inform physicians, counsel patients, and optimize the allocation of health care resources.…”

“…The comparisons between TAVI and SAVR indicate favourable results for TAVI at higher Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS) predicted risk of mortality (PROM) but appear similar among patients with STS PROM below 6-8% 1 . For patients with increased surgical risk, non-inferiority and even superiority of TAVI compared with SAVR has been demonstrated consistently [1][2][3][4][5] .…”

“…The comparisons between TAVI and SAVR indicate favourable results for TAVI at higher Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS) predicted risk of mortality (PROM) but appear similar among patients with STS PROM below 6-8% 1 . For patients with increased surgical risk, non-inferiority and even superiority of TAVI compared with SAVR has been demonstrated consistently [1][2][3][4][5] . However, a recent STS database survey including 113,377 patients with a mean age of 65.3±13.0 years and an average STS score of 1.67±0.94% indicates that 80% of all SAVR patients are at low risk for SAVR based on an STS score of <4% 6 .…”
