Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has shown similar clinical benefit and symptomatic recovery to surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) for high-and intermediate-risk patients with severe aortic stenosis in the PARTNER I and II trials. 1,2 We hypothesized the adoption of TAVR would have significantly impacted resource use and postoperative outcomes after SAVR.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
