What are the outcomes of conventional aortic valve replacement in high-risk aortic stenosis patients unsuitable for TAVI?
Conventional open surgery remains a feasible option with acceptable mortality for high-risk aortic stenosis patients unsuitable for TAVI, despite high in-hospital morbidity.
Dimarakis et al. (2011) conducted a cohort in High-risk aortic stenosis unsuitable for TAVI (n=28). Conventional aortic valve replacement was evaluated on In-hospital mortality. Conventional aortic valve replacement in high-risk aortic stenosis patients unsuitable for TAVI resulted in 4% in-hospital mortality and 81% survival at a median follow-up of 359 days.
