May support TAVI in lowest-risk patients; hypothesis-generating SURTAVI subgroup needing dedicated confirmation.
Does TAVI reduce all-cause mortality or disabling stroke compared to SAVR in patients with severe aortic stenosis and STS PROM <3%?
In a subgroup analysis of the SURTAVI trial, TAVI was associated with significantly lower rates of all-cause mortality or disabling stroke at one year compared to SAVR in patients with an STS PROM <3%.
