Disease specific status and generic health status improvements from TAVR and SAVR

Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) and surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) in intermediate risk symptomatic aortic stenosis (SAS) patients were associated with significant improvements in disease specific status (16 to 22 point improvement on a 100 point scale) and in generic health status (3.9 to 5.1 point improvement on a 36 point scale).

Related Facts

  • Survival rates of SAS patients ages 80+ with and without SAVR
     
  • Cost-effectiveness of SAVR
    The cost-effectiveness ratio for surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR), compared to no surgery, was estimated at $13,528 per quality-adjusted life year (QALY) (~$17,225 in 2017 dollars).  
  • Satisfaction with HVD Treatment
    Among treated heart valve disease (HVD), 96% express “full satisfaction” and 78% are “very satisfied” with their treatment.  
  • Improvements in QoL from TAVR in SAS patients
    Symptomatic aortic stenosis (SAS) patients who underwent transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) experienced quality of life (QoL) improvements from 5.3 at baseline (10 point scale with 10=best imaginable health state)…  
  • Undertreatment of patients with sSAS
    AS is often undertreated — one study found that 56% of severe symptomatic aortic stenosis (sSAS) patients referred to a cardiothoracic surgeon were not operated on.
