DALLAS, Nov. 13, 2021 — For people experiencing severe aortic stenosis who do not have symptoms or need symptom relief, early aortic valve replacement surgery may be beneficial because it reduces the ...

For people experiencing severe aortic stenosis who do not have symptoms or need symptom relief, early aortic valve replacement surgery may be beneficial because it reduces the risk of death, heart ...

In the AVATAR trial, patients with asymptomatic severe aortic stenosis and normal left ventricular function assigned early surgical aortic valvular replacement, compared with watchful waiting, had a ...

Even in asymptomatic patients with aortic stenosis (AS) and minimal signs of cardiac damage, early treatment with surgery provides a long-term survival benefit over conservative management, a new ...

Patients with severe aortic stenosis fared well getting surgery before developing symptoms as opposed to watchful waiting, according to the small AVATAR trial. The cohort randomized to early aortic ...
