Aortic valve replacement in patients over 60: Real‐world surgical outcomes

Abstract

With the advent of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has come an expectation that there will be a decline in surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR). This has been fueled by trials comparing outcomes between TAVI and SAVR in lower‐risk patients. The aim of this study was to examine outcomes following SAVR in patients over the age of 60.
