INTRODUCTION
The aim of this study was to assess the clinical outcomes of high-risk patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS) allocated to medical treatment (MT), transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), and surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) through extended follow-up.
METHODS AND RESULTS
Consecutive patients with severe symptomatic AS included in a prospective single centre registry underwent sweep follow-up between March and August 2016. Clinical outcomes were assessed using a competing risk model. A total of 442 patients (median age 83 years; 52% female) were allocated to MT (n = 78), SAVR (n = 107), or TAVR (n = 257) with a gradient of surgical risk as assessed by logistic EuroSCORE (MT: 27.9 ± 14.5%, TAVR: 24.7 ± 24.9%, SAVR: 12.5 ± 8.2%; p <0.001). Survival after a median duration of follow-up of seven years was 6.4% (MT), 30.4% (TAVR), and 46.7% (SAVR), respectively (p <0.001). One TAVR and one SAVR patient underwent repeat intervention for valvular degeneration between 4.5 and 8.4 years after intervention. Compromised left ventricular function (LVEF <40%) was associated with increased mortality (HR 1.62, 95% CI 1.22–2.15; p <0.0001), whereas female sex was protective (HR 0.68, 95% CI 0.53–0.88; p = 0.0006).
CONCLUSION
Both TAVR and SAVR reduced mortality compared to MT throughout a median duration of follow-up of seven years. Repeat interventions for valvular degeneration were rare.
