Researchers found that at five years, patients with severe aortic stenosis who were treated with either TAVR or surgery had comparable rates of all-cause mortality or disabling stroke.

In patients greater than age 65, more than 90% of aortic stenosis involves trileaflet valves which have developed heavy calcification. [5] In these instances the calcium deposits are thought to ...

Experts discuss atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease and aortic stenosis, as well as their burden, highlighting their prevalence, impact on patient health, and the growing need for effective ...
