Authors' conclusion

These analyses are exploratory, but highlight the importance of tailoring the intervention to the patient's clinical risk profile, life expectancy, native aortic valve morphology and the anticipated risks associated with TAVR or SAVR.

Study context

Population
Low surgical risk patients aged ≤ 70 years with a tricuspid or bicuspid aortic valve stenosis (AS)
Comparison
Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) when compared to surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR)
Methodological detailsexploratory analyses
  • Exploratory analyses

Primary result

As reported in the abstract

Death, stroke or rehospitalization, patients with tricuspid AS · One year after intervention

Absolute risk difference

−2.0%

TAVRvs SAVR
absolute risk difference −2.0% (95% CI −11.8% to 7.7%)

OutcomeAbsolute risk difference (95% CI)
Adverse outcomes (death, stroke or rehospitalization), patients with bicuspid AS · One year after interventionSignificantly higher risk with TAVR · exploratory13.8% (1.2%–26.3%)
