Why the study?
Studies published after the 2014 AHA/ACC guidelines suggest a survival benefit from earlier aortic valve replacement surgery for chronic AR and/or AS.
Does earlier timing of aortic valve surgery improve long-term survival in patients with chronic aortic regurgitation and/or aortic stenosis compared to current guidelines?
Systematic Review
Does earlier timing of aortic valve surgery improve long-term survival in patients with chronic aortic regurgitation and/or aortic stenosis compared to current guidelines?
Early aortic valve replacement for severe aortic valve disease appears to offer a long-term survival benefit compared to current guideline-directed timing.
