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).
