Why the study?
Does minimally invasive aortic valve replacement with a sutureless valve through a right anterior mini-thoracotomy improve early outcomes and mid-term survival compared with TAVI in high-risk patients?
Does minimally invasive aortic valve replacement with a sutureless valve through a right anterior mini-thoracotomy improve early outcomes and mid-term survival compared with TAVI in high-risk patients?
In high-risk patients, minimally invasive surgical aortic valve replacement with a sutureless valve via right anterior mini-thoracotomy may offer better early outcomes and mid-term survival compared to TAVI.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
May support sutureless mini-thoracotomy AVR in high-risk patients; leaves open need for RCTs before practice change.
Minimally invasive aortic valve replacement with perceval S sutureless valves through an RT is associated with a trend of better early outcomes and mid-term survival compared with TAVI.
