Does aortic valve replacement restore normal life expectancy compared to an age- and gender-matched population?
Aortic valve replacement restores normal life expectancy in patients over 68 years of age, achieving survival similar to an age- and gender-matched population.
Alexander Manché (2016) conducted a cohort in Aortic valve replacement (n=585). Aortic valve replacement vs. Age- and gender-matched population was evaluated on 20-year absolute survival. Aortic valve replacement in patients over 68 years restored normal life expectancy, with 10-year survival equivalent to an age- and gender-matched population.
