New findings published in the American Journal of Cardiology posit that transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) and surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) are associated with similar short-term outcomes among pediatric patients presenting with congenital heart disease (CHD). However, SAVR patients in the study had “significantly” longer ICU stays and hospitalization times and were more likely to require medications to control their blood pressure following the procedure.
