Key result
It is too early to predict whether the balance between transcatheter and surgical aortic valve replacement volume will shift in low-risk patients, as decision-making remains highly complex.

Predicting the shift to TAVR in low-risk aortic stenosis patients requires considering complex clinical factors, patient preferences, and pending randomized trial data, rather than relying solely on prevalence estimates and risk scores.

Coylewright et al. (2017) conducted an editorial in Aortic stenosis. Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) vs. Surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) was evaluated. It is too early to predict whether the balance between transcatheter and surgical aortic valve replacement volume will shift in low-risk patients, as decision-making remains highly complex.
