Absolute Event Rate: 1.5% vs 1.8%
This national registry report demonstrates low operative mortality rates for both surgical and transcatheter valve procedures in Japan between 2017 and 2018, alongside a dramatic increase in TAVR volume.
Abe et al. (2021) conducted an observational in Valvular heart disease. Transcatheter aortic valve replacement vs. Surgical aortic valve replacement was evaluated on Overall mortality rate. In the Japan Cardiovascular Surgery Database (2017-2018), overall mortality rates were 1.5% after transcatheter aortic valve replacement and 1.8% after surgical aortic valve replacement.
