Title: Long-term relative survival study after surgical aortic valve replacement in patients with intermediate risk

Biography

Biography: Alexander Manché

Abstract

The indications for Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) are evolving. The original indication, in patients with unacceptably high risk for surgery, was expanded to include high-risk patients also eligible for surgery. TAVI is now being offered to intermediate-risk patients without available long-term data. Surgery in these patients offers excellent results, both in the short and long term.
Surgical aortic valve replacement, with or without concomitant coronary revascularisation, can achieve a normal life expectancy in intermediate-risk patients aged 68 or older. We present a 20-year relative survival study, comparing patients’ outcomes with that of normal controls derived from the National Statistics database. The study also correlated long-term survival with patient-related, procedure-related and post-operative complication-related factors.
Surgical AVR for severe aortic stenosis in intermediate-risk patients yields excellent long-term survival. The decision to offer TAVI to these patients should factor in the known long-term results of surgery.
