SAVR’s Value in the TAVR Era

CardiacWire

Procedure trends certainly suggest that we’ve entered the TAVR era, but a pair of new studies show that surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) is a far better option for many younger and healthier patients who are increasingly seen as TAVR candidates. The post SAVR’s Value in the TAVR Era appeared first on Cardiac Wire.

Transcatheter versus surgical valve replacement in patients with bicuspid aortic valves: an updated meta-analysis

The British Journal of Cardiology

Patients with bicuspid aortic valves (BAV) are predisposed to the development of aortic stenosis. We performed a pairwise meta-analysis, comparing the efficacy of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) versus surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) in patients with BAV. to 4.58, p=0.04).
