5-Year Outcomes After Transcatheter or Surgical Aortic Valve Replacement in Low-Risk Patients With Aortic Stenosis
Authors' conclusion
At 5 years, patients with severe aortic stenosis who were treated with either TAVR or surgery had comparable rates of all-cause mortality or disabling stroke.

Primary result
As reported in the abstract
All-cause mortality or disabling stroke (Kaplan-Meier estimate)
P = 0.47
Secondary outcomes
All-cause mortality (Kaplan-Meier estimate) · 5 years
P = 0.39
Disabling stroke (Kaplan-Meier estimate) · 5 years
P = 0.57
CV mortality · 5 years
P = 0.15
Non-CV mortality · 5 years
P = 0.73
All-cause mortality incl. site-level vital status sweep of patients lost to follow-up or withdrawn · 5 years
P = 0.74
Valve reintervention · 5 years
P = 0.44
