Why the study?
Does valve replacement (TAVR or SAVR) improve 1-year survival compared to BAV alone in patients with severe symptomatic AS and ESRD on dialysis?
Does valve replacement (TAVR or SAVR) improve 1-year survival compared to BAV alone in patients with severe symptomatic AS and ESRD on dialysis?
In patients with severe symptomatic AS and ESRD on dialysis, valve replacement (TAVR or SAVR) offers a 1-year survival benefit over BAV alone.
Key Points TAVR or SAVR has a 1‐year survival benefit over BAV alone in patients with severe symptomatic AS and ESRD on dialysis More studies comparing SAVR vs. TAVR outcome in ESRD patients and severe AS are needed to understand further the patients that will benefit the most in terms of quality of life. The heart team approach for treatment of patients with ESRD and severe AS remains extremely important to optimize patient's outcome.
