Key result
Aortic valve replacement in patients younger than 60 years resulted in favorable long-term outcomes, with an overall survival rate of 90.6% at 15 years and 73.2% at 20 years.
Why the study?
Reports on long-term outcomes of surgical AVR for patients aged <60 years are scarce in Japan.
Cohort (n=170)
No
Surgical aortic valve replacement in patients under 60 years of age, predominantly using mechanical valves, demonstrates favorable long-term survival and freedom from reoperation up to 15 years, though reoperation risk increases by 20 years.
