Why the study?
Variability in study methodologies and definitions, along with inadequate follow-up, make data on surgical aortic valve durability difficult to interpret.
The current literature on surgical aortic valve durability is limited by variable definitions and inadequate long-term follow-up, highlighting the need for standardized data collection to serve as a benchmark for transcatheter valves.

Inconsistent SVD definitions and inadequate follow-up limit SAVR durability assessment; supports standardized reporting to benchmark TAVR.
