Trial Results Provide Insights Into TAVR for Aortic Stenosis
John Forrest, MD, FACC, FSCAI, associate professor of medicine (cardiovascular medicine), recently shared four-year outcome results from the Evolut Low Risk Trial at the TCT (Transcatheter Cardiovascular Therapeutics) Conference. The study, which was simultaneously published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology (JACC), compares two approaches to treating severe aortic stenosis: transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) and surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR). Offering a detailed analysis over a four-year period, the trial sheds light on the effectiveness and safety of these treatments for patients with aortic stenosis.
