TAVR v. SAVR in Intermediate-Risk SAS Patients

At 1-year, severe aortic stenosis (SAS) patients with intermediate surgical mortality risk who underwent transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), had all-cause mortality rates of 7.4% (compared to 13% for surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR)), disabling stroke rates of 2.3% (compared to 5.9% for SAVR), and rehospitalization rates of 11.4% (compared to 15.1% for SAVR).
