Trend and early outcomes in isolated surgical aortic valve replacement in the United Kingdom.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) is traditionally the gold-standard treatment in patients with aortic valve disease. The advancement of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) provides an alternative treatment to patients with high surgical risks and those who had previous cardiac surgery. We aim to evaluate the trend, early clinical outcomes, and the choice of prosthesis use in isolated SAVR in the United Kingdom.

Methods

All patients (n = 79,173) who underwent elective or urgent isolated surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) from 1996 to 2018 were extracted from the National Adult Cardiac Surgery Audit database. Patients who underwent additional procedures and emergency or salvage SAVR were excluded from the study. Trend and clinical outco
