TAVR in patients with severe aortic stenosis and less than high risk: Future or present reality?

Tannas Jatene et al. Catheter Cardiovasc Interv. 2015 Oct.

Abstract

TAVR use is growing in patients with less than high surgical risk. Several registries, including this one, show excellent safety with TAVR in intermediate-risk patients compared with similar patients undergoing SAVR. Long-term data from ongoing randomized trials will answer definitively if we should routinely perform TAVR in intermediate-risk patients.
