Key result
TAVI and SAVR offer complementary AS treatments despite unclear long-term structural valve degeneration rates.
Why the study?
Concerns remain regarding TAVI longevity and the true incidence of structural valve degeneration compared with SAVR due to a lack of long-term data.

Supports individualized TAVI or SAVR selection in aortic stenosis; leaves open long-term durability comparisons for future trials.
TAVI and SAVR are complementary approaches for treating aortic stenosis, though long-term data on structural valve degeneration for TAVI is still needed.
Nappi et al. (2022) conducted a review in Aortic stenosis. Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) vs. Surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) was evaluated. Transcatheter aortic valve implantation and surgical aortic valve replacement are complementary for treating aortic stenosis, though long-term structural valve degeneration rates remain unclear.
