Surgical and transcatheter aortic valve replacement align survival with general population expectations: insights from standardized mortality ratios
In non-frail patients, TAVR and SAVR both restore life expectancy to general population standards. For frail TAVR patients, the lower survival rate highlights frailty's important prognostic impact and underlines the ongoing challenge of refining patient selection to avoid futility.
