- AVR vs surveillance in NFLG severe AS
Main finding
As reported in the abstract
Survival, AVR vs surveillance (NFLG severe AS)
- Most studies (all observational): AVR associated with a survival benefit vs surveillance
- Natural history without intervention: outcomes similar to moderate AS
- Better outcomes after valve replacement than low-flow low-gradient severe AS
