Fibrosis evaluation may refine post-AVR risk stratification; leaves open whether antifibrotic therapies improve survival in aortic stenosis.
What is the optimal method of correction (transcatheter vs open surgical) for severe calcific aortic stenosis in patients with different surgical risks?
This review highlights that the choice between transcatheter and open surgical aortic valve replacement for moderate and high-risk patients remains complex and requires a personalized approach.
