Transcatheter aortic valve implantation and open aortic surgery: comparative assessment of results

Aim. The aim of this study is to compare hospital and long-term outcomes in patients with low surgical risk after aortic stenosis correction in surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) and transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). Materials and methods. Patients with aortic stenosis (AS) were included in the study. The main criterion for inclusion - the presence of indications for surgical correction of an isolated aortic valve defect. The first group included patients after TAVI (n = 11). As a control group, patients who underwent surgical correction aortic stenosis (n = 23). The TAVI group used non-repositories CoreValve (Medtronic) and repositioned Lotus (Boston Scientific) valves. Biological prosthesis Uniline (KemKor) was used in the group of surgical patients. The efficacy of the interventions was evaluated at the hospital and annual follow-up, based on the analysis of the combined endpoint, and major adverse cardiovascular events. Results. The mean age of the patients was 66...
