Cost-effectiveness of TAVR in sSAS patients

Patients with severe symptomatic aortic stenosis (sSAS) considered to be at high surgical risk who underwent transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) experienced lifetime incremental cost-effectiveness ratios of $55,090 per QALY gained and $43,114 per life-year (LY) gained.
