Why the study?
Does transcatheter aortic valve replacement improve outcomes compared to surgical aortic valve replacement in patients with severe, symptomatic aortic stenosis at low to intermediate surgical risk?
Does transcatheter aortic valve replacement improve outcomes compared to surgical aortic valve replacement in patients with severe, symptomatic aortic stenosis at low to intermediate surgical risk?
This clinical practice guideline provides evidence-based recommendations for choosing between transcatheter and surgical aortic valve replacement in patients with severe, symptomatic aortic stenosis at low to intermediate surgical risk.
Informs individualized TAVR or SAVR choice in low- to intermediate-risk severe AS; extends prior trial data into updated guidelines.
In patients with symptomatic severe aortic stenosis but at lower risk of perioperative death, how do minimally invasive techniques compare with open surgery? Prompted by a recent trial, an expert panel produced these recommendations based on three linked rapid systematic reviews

Vandvik et al. (2016) studied this question. Transcatheter and surgical aortic valve replacement for severe aortic stenosis at low to intermediate risk were compared in new clinical practice guidelines based on rapid systematic reviews.
