On Saturday, January 27 at 9:45 a.m. CT, Christopher Mehta, MD, from Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago, will present “Age-Stratified Surgical Aortic Valve Replacement for Aortic Stenosis: An Analysis of the Society of Thoracic Surgeons Adult Cardiac Surgery Database (ACSD).”
The study is part of the STS 2024 session titled, “Trends and Research from the STS ACSD.” During his talk, Dr. Mehta will provide insight into how comprehensive data help inform multidisciplinary heart teams in making decisions between surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) and transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) for patients.
Attendees will learn how the national landscape for SAVR and TAVR changed between 2011 and 2022, as experts evaluated age-specific trends and outcomes in surgical aortic valve replacement (AVR) in patients with bicuspid (BAV) or tricuspid (TAV) aortic valve by analyzing data from the STS ACSD.
Throughout the 11-year study, which followed more than 200,000 adult patients with BAV or TAV who underwent AVR for moderate and severe aortic stenosis, age-specific trends and outcomes were evaluated.
