Clinical Outcomes According to Aortic Stenosis Management: Insights From Real-World Practice.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Real-world data regarding clinical outcomes according to aortic stenosis (AS) management are scarce. Therefore, we aimed to investigate long-term management across the spectrum of outpatients with AS.

Methods and results

Between May 2016 and December 2017, consecutive outpatients with mild (peak aortic velocity, 2.5-2.9 m/s), moderate (3-3.9 m/s), and severe AS (≥4 m/s) were included by 117 cardiologists in the VALVENOR (Follow-Up of a Cohort of Patients With Valvular Aortic Stenosis in the Nord-pas-de-Calais Region) study and followed-up for aortic valve replacement (AVR) and modes of death. Among 2704 patients included, 1156 (42.7%) had mild, 1121 (41.5%) moderate, and 427 (15.8%) severe AS. After a median follow-up of 5 years, 993 AVRs (488 surgical and 505 tra
