Long-Term Outcomes in Moderate and Severe Aortic Stenosis According to Extent of Cardiac Damage

JACC Cardiovasc IntervPublished

  • Pooled analysis of 2 single-centre registries

Authors' conclusion

Ten-year mortality in patients with moderate and severe AS is importantly determined by CD extent. AVR was associated with lower mortality in patients with moderate AS and advanced CD.

Mortality with AVR vs conservative management, by CD extent and AS severity — AVR vs Conservative management · advanced CD, moderate AS0.43 (0.28–0.66)
Mortality with AVR vs conservative management, by CD extent and AS severity — AVR vs Conservative management · advanced CD, severe AS0.27 (0.18–0.39)

  • Mortality with aortic valve replacement (AVR) vs conservative management, by cardiac damage (CD) extent and AS severity: 344 patients (54.9%) underwent AVR at a median 347 days
