No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Aortic valve replacement improves survival in elderly patients with symptomatic aortic stenosis, particularly those with impaired left ventricular function, highlighting that age alone should not preclude surgical intervention.
David Sprigings (1999) conducted an editorial in Symptomatic aortic stenosis (n=205). Valve replacement vs. Medical management was evaluated on Survival. Valve replacement improved survival compared to medical management in an observational study of 205 elderly patients (aged ≥70 years) with symptomatic aortic stenosis.
