In a late-breaking clinical trial, Dr. John Forrest from @yaleschoolofmed.bsky.social reports that low-risk patients with AS treated with #TAVR had similar rates of mortality and stroke at 5 years compared to those treated with surgery jacc.org/doi/10.1016/...

6 yrs after surgery or #TAVR with CoreValve/Evolut, low-risk AS pts showed no difference in all-cause mortality or disabling #stroke in the Evolut Low-Risk trial. However, reinterventions were higher after TAVR, largely driven by increased AR. https://bit.ly/4csz87C

Compared with TAVs and BAVs type 1 (BAV-1; 1 raphe), BAV type 0 (BAV-0; no raphe) was associated with a better long-term prognosis among patients with severe AS undergoing #TAVR procedures. www.jacc.org/doi/10.1016/... #JACCINT #vhdAS

Dapagliflozin showed 🚫 no significant improvement in health status post-#TAVI in the DapaTAVI substudy. While it may reduce death or worsening #HeartFailure in pts with #vhdAS, further research of patients w/ residual symptoms is needed.
