What TAVR availability has meant for patients with severe aortic stenosis - Cardiovascular Business

Overall, the authors found, patients survived much longer in the TAVR era than in the pre-TAVR era. For patients younger than 65 years old, mortality was roughly the same between the two patient groups. However, median survival took a significant leap in the TAVR era compared to the pre-TAVR era for all older age groups.

Also, as one might expect, the percentage of severe AS patients undergoing surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) dropped considerably once TAVR was introduced.

In addition, the authors noted, both TAVR and SAVR patients had “significantly better survival compared to medically managed patients.”

“These results are reaffirming and suggest that clinicians are using [TAVR] in ways that benefit large populations, consistent with the previously performed randomized controlled trials,” wrote lead author Ariel Chao, MPH, of the department of biostatistics at Yale School of Public Health, and colleagues.
